jQuery works on desktop but doesn't work on tablets

Question

I have a series of jQuery functions that load Partial Views from a MVC4 Controller. This (loading partial views) works very well in normal desktop browsers, but when I publish and view it on a tablet it doesn't work. I should note that other jQuery methods do work on tablets, so it does not appear to be an issue with the .js files not getting included.

Method in question:

$("#urls").on("click", function () {
    alert("test");
    $("#content-wrapper").load("/URL/Load?userWebID=" + $getActiveUserID());
    $changeTabColour("urls");
});

$getActiveUserID = function () {
    return $("#sidebar ul").find(".active").find("#userID").html();
}

When I click the <div id="urls">, the "test" alert box appears but the PartialView does not load.

Can you add more details to "does not work"? Does the "alert('test')" popup? What is the behavior? — Bart Burg, Mar 12 '14 at 12:29
check if the URL is correct, also try to debug it using Logcat in case you are using an Android tablet — ePezhman, Mar 12 '14 at 12:33
Should it be `var $getActiveUserID = function () {` instead? — MonkeyZeus, Mar 12 '14 at 12:34
By "does not work" I mean nothing, other than the alert(), happens when the URLs div is clicked. I state this in the question. — John 'Mark' Smith, Mar 12 '14 at 12:51
@MonkeyZeus alert($getActiveUserID()) shows the UserID correctly. — John 'Mark' Smith, Mar 12 '14 at 13:46
Can you convert `.load()` into `.ajax()` and see if the issue persists? — MonkeyZeus, Mar 12 '14 at 13:58
Found the solution, answered my own question. It was my mistake. Thanks for your help anyway. — John 'Mark' Smith, Mar 12 '14 at 14:17

I am answering my own question for future reference.

This was an ASP.NET problem, caused by the tablet device loading the Index.Mobile.cshtml file, rather than the Index.cshtml file that the desktop was loading.
