IE8 and js lib issue, Object expected error

[ajoo]

Hi all !

 

This snippet below, with an older version of jquery, namely 1.7.2 works fine with Internet Explorer 8  

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.js"></script>	

while this one below, the newer version, namely 3.1.1 

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.js"></script>	

gives the Object Expected error. My login page with a slider login panel renders but with errors, it says, and the slider does not function. It does not slide down.

 

 

The two script lines are exact same except for the version diff. Please suggest if and how may I resolve this issue. 

 

Thanks loads everyone.

The jQuery 2 and 3 branches don't support very old browsers like IE8. You have to either give up IE8 support yourself or stick with jQuery 1.

Hi Guru Jacques ! 

 

Thanks for the reply or I would have continued struggling with this.
