JQuery IE Load does not work

JQuery IE Load does not work

Hi,
  I have page which has two tabs. Everything works well in every other browser except IE.
  Basically, when the user clicks on the edit function link, the load does not seem to work. I have used debugging tools and found that it makes the call, the data is even returned but it does not get loaded into the div and does not show up.
function funEditGroup(parGID, parGName)
    {       
        var y = document.getElementById('spanfragment-2');
        y.innerHTML = 'Edit Group - ' + parGName;
        var x = document.getElementById('fragment-2');
        x.innerHTML = '';   
       $('#fragment-2').load('addnewgroup.cfm?parAction=edit&parSrID='+parGID+'');   
       $('#tabs').tabs('select', 1);
    }
I even tried using $.ajax but still it does not seem to work. Any ideas?
