I'm having a problem with IE8 throwing an "object expected" error when loading a page with the jquery command $(document).ready(). I've gone through all the other posts I can find here on SO, and none of the solutions seem to work.
To troubleshoot, I created the following html, which runs fine in Firefox and Chrome, but produces an "object expected" error at the $(document).ready line. So far:
<head> (I've included it in the body to recreate the situation on the site I'm developing on)jQuery(document) instead of $ - same resultvar $j=jQuery.noConflict(); and including $j(document), getting a 'jQuery is undefined' error on the $j declaration.What am I missing? ANY help is appreciated! Thanks!
<html>
<head>
<script type="application/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
alert("WORKING!");
});
</script>
<div id="test">
</div>
</body></html>

Mate, check your two script tags. One says type="application/javascript", the other says type="text/javascript".
Change the first one to type="text/javascript" and it will work fine.

Had the same problem. I fixed this by struggling hard for some time and tried a bunch of thinks that did'nt work. But this work:)
Check you jquery script tag. If it contains the type="text/javascript" like this
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/scripts/jquery-1.9.0.js"></script>
then replace the "text/javascript" with only "javascript"
<script type="javascript" src="~/scripts/jquery-1.9.0.js"></script>
Really vierd behaviour but it works. If anyone has a good explanation then please post an answer to this.
NB! This works only for IE8, not for Chrome or Firefox !
