Answer 1

In order to use the getElementsById tag, you'll need to use the Release Candidate as this has fixed the issue.

Answer 2

First off check if some of your code is incorrect in your $(document).ready(). if that all looks fine reload your page and hit F12 click the script tab then click start debugging and it will reload the page and halt it with a break point at your error in javascript.

jQuery does work in IE9 RC I use it myself for testing.

However if your doing some thing IE don't support near the top of your $(document).ready() it could be preventing the rest of the page from loading.

If this is down to console.log there is a good way to prevent IE from haling of console.log:

if(console == undefined){ console = {log:function(){}}; }

Answer 3

jQuery 1.5 had some troubles with IE9. I switched back to latest 1.4 and works ok.

Answer 4

http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.1rc1.js

That should help ;)

Answer 5

I used IE9 on my laptop at my old job and it worked fine with jquery. And I was just listening in on the jquery dev meeting a couple of days ago and even on that they mentioned that only a couple of test cases fail. You may be having some other issue, maybe a security setting or something.
