I fat fingered the last one so... I have this piece of code
$("#AP_PONum").live("change", function(){ ap_po = $("option:selected",this).val(); $("#content-box").load("webapps/finished_jewelry/PurReq/display/ dsp_addPurchaseRequest.cfm?poNum="+ap_po); }); which works like a champ in firefox. it's called from a drop down grabs the ColdFusion template and load it in a div called content-box. This does nothing in IE8, no error, no load, no love.. nothing any ideas on how to work around this?
