Hello Donny, Hello Angelo,
today I faced exactly the same issue and wasted hours on google before finding
and implementing your fix. Thanks for sharing!
IE8 really is a piece of work ... wasted hours yesterday trying to force it to
not display my intranet site in compatibility mode because the meta tag that
should do this doesn't work. The solution for this btw is to set a header via
RequestFilter:
In service():
response.setHeader("X-UA-Compatible", "IE=8");
Once I accomplished that, the Javascript errors started to appear ...
I know it's not exactly t5-only specific but maybe there could be a section on
the t5 site "IE8 and you" that collects these workarounds.
Kind Regards,
Wulf

Hi Angelo,
I had this exact problem - jQuery and Prototype don't work out in IE8 (I
vaguely remember reading something about IE8 trying to be smart and load/run
scripts in parallel, which cause problems). Sometimes prototype code would
run, but $ would be referencing jQuery even though I had called noConflict
on jQuery.
Here's my solution, which I'm using in my app right now:
- Download the un-minified source of jQuery, whichever version you're using
- Modify it so that it never assigns the $ variable in the first place (in
version 1.4.3 it's line 901: "return (window.jQuery = window.$ = jQuery);
just remove the " = window.$" part.
- Minify it (I used yahoo's javascript compressor -
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/)
And then everything works.
You can grab it from my site if you like (
http://www.deliverthedeals.com/js/jquery-1.4.3.min.js) to verify that it
works. My version has an extra line at the end though, which assigns jQuery
to $j.
