$.parseJSON is working great in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari using the code below. However, in Internet Explorer 10, the script fails to yield a valid object.

Here's the jsFiddle: /

And the js code:

string = '{"result":"success"}';
$('#json_string').text(string);
item = $.parseJSON(string);
$('#json_result').text(item.result);

Is there a workaround for Internet Explorer that would correct this error?

• Which version of jQuery are you using? – Steven V Commented Jul 20, 2013 at 20:07
• Did you only try it with jsFiddle? The error I get from IE9 is related to iframes. – sabof Commented Jul 20, 2013 at 20:11
• I get the same error on my domain as well. – ams Commented Jul 20, 2013 at 20:14
• I see the error '$' is undefined in the IE10 console when opening the fiddle. – Mooseman Commented Jul 20, 2013 at 20:16
• And I've tried jQuery 1.9.1 and 2.0.2 – ams Commented Jul 20, 2013 at 20:16

This should work:

$(function() {
    var string = '{"result":"success"}';

    $('#json_string').text(string);

    var item = $.parseJSON(string);
    $('#json_result').text(item.result);
});

IE has a global object called 'item' which can't be overwritten.
