Some IE9 Grief!

An AJAX call that worked everywhere except IE9, and the console.log behind it.

Today I really hated IE9 even more!

I had this ajax:

    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "Reportviewer.aspx/GetSomeData",
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        data: "{}",
        dataType: "json",
        success: AjaxSucceeded
    });

    function AjaxSucceeded(result) {
        console.log(result)

        $(result.d).each(function () {
            ...
        });
    }

In IE9 the ajax just don’t want to call the success function “AjaxSucceeded” but in Crome, Firefox it returns just fine.

After googeling like crazy I found out all instances of console.log() need to be removed from your script in order for it to work in IE9 without it being in developer mode.

Well now I know!
