IE 8 Crashes When Loading Site, Can't Debug -

Joshua Jarvis picture Joshua Jarvis · May 13, 2011 · Viewed 8.2k times · Source

http://bizzocall.com/faq/ - Works well in all other browswers, but when I test it with the developer tools in IE 8 compatibility it just crashes.

I've looked at all the answers and it seems like each person has different problems (I've looked for stray commas, updated jquery, etc).

Any help is much appreciated!

UPDATE

I found a plugin that was calling jquery 1.4 (Dave's WordPress Live Search) and removed it. Although the code seems cleaner it still pause IE 8.

UPDATE 2

Removing the plugin seemed to be the trick.

Just for those that find this post: This was running wordpress with thesis installed.

It seems that most likely you have a trailing comma, not necessarily a stray one. For example:

{
  "hello":"world",
  "foo":"bar"
}

Would work fine, but if you did:

{
  "hello":"world",
  "foo":"bar",
}

It would totally kill IE. Look for that or maybe give us more hints as to what the error is.
