$.getJSON (and $.ajax) not working in IE 8

[thisislobo]

This problem went away when I downgraded from 1.4.2 to 1.3.2 so I am guessing this is a bug.

The code is for a Facebook app at ​http://apps.facebook.com/frequence-game/

The core JS file is at ​http://pikadoo.com/facebook/Frequence/freq.js but there is also JS in the main HTML, which you can only see if you grant permission to Facebook app (sorry about this).

The app runs as an iFrame. It breaks on a $.getJSON function call in the setUpGame() function and fails in the bowels of jQuery. More information at ​http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3154273/getjson-jquery-not-working-in-ie-8

Since the original defect can only be found inside a Facebook app, I am attaching the HTML here for debugging.

This is the companion JS file necessary for the HTML file to work.

Sorry the previous file was incorrect.

CSS file for the HTML file to work.

Hi, can you reduce the test case further? Perhaps you could get someone to help on the forum. Knowing that the behavior changed from 1.3 to 1.4 is a good start, but not necessarily an indication of a bug in jQuery.

Sorry I tried to help out by uploading the HTML, JS and CSS files but it's still difficult to replicate. The best option would be to go to the Facebook app.
