load() not working on some requests in IE8

load() not working on some requests in IE8

I can't figure a problem I'm having in IE. The same thing works in Chrome.
 
Look at this URL and click on one of the small images next to the sneaker. This works fine. The itemWrapper div is replaced correctly and looks great.
 
 
Then try this URL and click on one of the small images next the album cover.
 
 
Everything seems to work ok in jQuery from what I can tell, the response shows success. The response variable seems to have a valid stream. The itemWrapper div is not updated, it is basically cleared out in IE8. I tried IE7 mode, same problem. I've attached a text showing the response stream from the jQuery load method.
 
Any ideas? Even a work around would help for now. I was thinking of parsing the response myself and using jQuery element replaceWith method.
 
Please be gentle on this site, it's a pre-production test site.
