In IE10 $.get() doesn't make a request when passed an empty object as params

[marshall@…]

Example here: ​http://jsfiddle.net/96NuG/

In Chrome and Firefox, $.get() requests the url without a querystring when passed {} as params as expected. In IE10, no request is made and the callback is never called. In all browsers, .get() works as expected when there is a key in the params hash (as seen in the jsfiddle)

Same results in both 1.10 and 2.0

Are you expecting a request to be made to the server? If so the URL should be "/#" and not just "#".

[marshall@…]

I suppose I see your point (though "/#" requests the domain root, not the current page). "./" or "" also works in all browsers. "#" does work in everything but IE though which is a strange inconsistency, especially because '#' is removed by jQuery anyway ( ​https://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/master/src/ajax.js#L414 ).

I don't know the source well enough to figure how IE could possibly do this. It's unexpected behavior but I'm sure it's not worth spending all day on if the cause isn't fairly obvious.

Thanks for your response.
