Question

Ok, for some reason my getJson is not working. I am pulling some stock information and it works in all major browsers except IE.

I have created a JSfiddle here: htt

Answer 1

Technically, I think you're violating the Same Origin Policy on this one. By definition, you can't do a JSON get from a domain other than your own....and getting data from Yahoo is certainly a different server than jsFiddle's. There is a similar issue reported here. The CORS exceptions they list are IE up to version 10, which would explain the issue perfectly.

The problem could be solved by using a "?" in your callback handler. See this stack article for more info.

Answer 2

Since its a old post this answer may be helpful to other seekers.

There may be two reasons why getJson not working in IE.

1.Either Jsonp requests which resolved by adding

 &callback=? or &callback=?

2.Set ajax catch.

$.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });

If still you have problem, it may be because of the cross-platform API usage.

Answer 3

I'll go for the well known cross domain policy issue with jquery and IE.

This article explain well the solution:
