Wierd IE 11 issue

Wierd IE 11 issue

I use jquery to read a file and populate a container DIV with a row of DIVS this seems to work in all browsers even IE11 sometimes . If I refresh it in IE sometime all the divs disappear except the container div.


however if in IE I hit f12 all the divs reappear is there some issue with a race condition or something? how would I deal with this in IE?

  $.urlParam = function(name){
    var results = new RegExp('[\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)').exec(window.location.href);
    if (results==null){
       return null;
    }
    else{
       return results[1] || 0;
    }
  } 
   

  $.get("./" + $.urlParam("dashboard") + ".txt" , function(data) {
            var divIs = "none";
