JQuery bind is not working in IE8

Question

I have this code in JQuery:

$(function (){
                        $("#TxtName").bind('input',function(){
                            if(/[~!@#$%^&*)(_+÷×A-Za-z0-9+-\.]/.test(this.value)){
                                $(".char_test_TxtName").css("visibility","visible");
                                $(this).val('');
                            }else{
                                $(".char_test_TxtName").css("visibility","hidden");
                            }
        });
    });

Can somebody tell me why the bind is not working in IE8?

You can try to use .on() instead of .bind().

Try like this:

 $("#TxtName").on('input',function(){

The mozilla documentation suggest to use add the following code at the beginning of your script to partially support the bind() method in browsers that do not (fully) support it:

if (!Function.prototype.bind) {
  Function.prototype.bind = function(oThis) {
    if (typeof this !== 'function') {
      // closest thing possible to the ECMAScript 5
      // internal IsCallable function
      throw new TypeError('Function.prototype.bind - what is trying to be bound is not callable');
    }

    var aArgs   = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1),
        fToBind = this,
        fNOP    = function() {},
        fBound  = function() {
          return fToBind.apply(this instanceof fNOP
                 ? this
                 : oThis,
                 aArgs.concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)));
        };

    fNOP.prototype = this.prototype;
    fBound.prototype = new fNOP();

    return fBound;
  };
