jQuery Forum

I have a problem that's occurring in IE (7) and no other browser (surprise surprise).

On my site I've defined a function loadAJAX, that displays an animated loading image, commences a .load() function, .eval's the scripts inside the AJAX chunk, and then hides the animated loading image:

1. function loadAJAX(phpFile, divElement)
2. {
3.     $("#loadingImage").show();
4.     $("#animatedLoadingDiv").show();
5.    
6.     var url = "includes/" + phpFile;
7.     $("#" + divElement).load(url, function()
8.     {
9.         $("#" + divElement + " script").each(function(ind,obj)
10.         {
11.             eval($(obj).text());
12.         });
13.         $("#loadingImage").hide();
14.         $("#animatedLoadingDiv").hide();
15.         return false;
16.     });
17. }

This function works fine in all browsers... except IE

IE will not eval() this:

1. <script type="text/javascript">
2.       // my code here
3. </script>

...but it will eval() this...

1. <script>
2.       // my code here
3. </script>

Is there any way to get IE to recognise scripts with the "text/javascript" attribute?
