title: jquery load() doesnt work at all in IE8
body: <p>Google is full of this question but none of the other pages help me. </p>
  
  <p>I've tried changing jquery versions, tried doing the whole var $j = jQuery.noConflict();, tried rearranging JS/jquery scripts, tried the  no caching thing suggested by jquery website but still my load() doesn't work.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a onclick="loadCont('canyou.php');"&gt;Can you help us&lt;/a&gt;
  
  
  function loadCont(file){
  $j("#maincont").load(file);
  alert(file);
  return false;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As always it loads on every other browser except IE8. The alart() is there for IE8 debugging, and the file is passed successfully, its just not loaded into #maincont</p>
  
  <p>Any help aboutthe code or replies appreciated.
  Thanks</p>
