$.post works in Chrome, Firefox but not IE

[slj90]

function DeleteItemByID(elm) {
  var deleteid = elm.id; 
 $.post('../action/deleteitem.php',{item:deleteid},function(e){
 deleteidalpha = deleteid.replace(/\D/g,'');
 var itemdiv = "#itemdiv" + deleteidalpha
$(itemdiv).hide();
  });
}

The above code works fine in chrome and firefox but doesn't work properly in IE. In IE it only hides itemdiv but doesn't send the data to the php file. What do I need to change for IE compatibility?

 

Thanks,
