Form submition with jQuery is not working correctly with IE8

Question

jQuery $.ajax() does not seem to work correctly with IE8 but it is working with Firefox, Chrome and Safari. I am submittin the form and response back in JSO

Answer 1

Your JSON response (output of _test.php) should contain : instead of ;, as @sje397 said. Seems like other browser are okay with ;, but not IE8, so the value is kept a string instead being parsed as an object.

EDIT: for some reason your data isn't being converted to json, try putting

if(typeof(data)=='string') {
  data=$.parseJSON(data);
}

at the top of your success handler and see if it works.
