alert() in $.get Ajax not Working in IE

Question

Hey I am facing a wired prob regarding alert() in IE I am using Jquery Ajax $.get to get data .... here is the code......

 $(document).ready(function () {

     $("#save").click(function () {
         vars = "pg=13&";
         if ($("#parent_code").val() == "") {
             vars += "type=insert&";
         } else {
             vars += "type=update&";
         }
         vars += $("#parent").serialize();
         $.get("pgs/dpg.php", vars, function (data) {
             $(data).find("row").each(function () {
                 stat = $(this).children(":first-child").text();
                 if (stat == "Saved") {
                     if ($("#parent_code").val() == "") {
                         $("#parent_code").val($(this).children(":nth-child(2)").text());
                         $("#parent_date").val($(this).children(":nth-child(3)").text());
                     }
                 }
                 alert(stat);
                 alert(data);
             });

Try this, should work on IE 8.

$(data).find("row").each(function () {
    var firstChild = $(this).children().first(),
    stat = firstChild.text();
    if (stat == "Saved") {
        if ($("#parent_code").val() == "") {
            $("#parent_code").val(firstChild.next().text());
            $("#parent_date").val(firstChild.next().next().text());
        }
    }
    alert(stat);
    alert(data);
});

It didn't work my friend......... – user3072379 Dec 06 '13 at 01:07
do anyone have any other solution......... – user3072379 Dec 06 '13 at 01:42
Then u should hand us the response, really hard to understand what u like to do. Did u replace all ur code with this or only the code inside the success function? The this code should not break and the alert should fired, did so in my fiddle any way. – Johan Hörnqvist Dec 06 '13 at 06:16
I have replaced my code with urs starting from $(data).find("row").each(function () { till }); But the alert is not showing in IE 8..... – user3072379 Dec 06 '13 at 06:21
Hm, that strange. Maybe if you can tell me whats in the data variable. Can u add that to ur original post and what jQuery version ur using? – Johan Hörnqvist Dec 06 '13 at 06:32
I am using jquery.1.4.2.min. – user3072379 Dec 06 '13 at 06:34

In the code you've posted you are missing a closing }); at the end.

Anyway, you should probably use var vars = ...; and var stat = ...;, using the explicit var keyword to initialize the variables.

Furthermore, :nth-child selector is not supported in IE<9, but you can find some workaround here.

*":nth-child selector is not supported in IE<9"* - In CSS maybe but jQuery has no such limitation. See http://jquery.com/browser-support/ – Phil Dec 06 '13 at 00:39
Is there any alternative..... – user3072379 Dec 06 '13 at 00:47
