title: does IE not pass url params to a js script?
body: <p>I have searched here and google for this. Found some other interesting stuff, but nothing specifically relevant.</p>
  <p>Scenario:</p>
  <pre><code>----html page----
  ...
  &lt;script src=&quot;/scripts/jsFile.php?v=246&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  ...
  
  
  ----jsFile.php----
  &lt;?php
  $v=(int)$_GET['v'];
  if (!$v) {
      echo &quot;no version&quot;;
  }
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>All browsers pass the &quot;v&quot; parameter to the script <strong>except</strong> for IE 8, specifically:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.5.21022; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; InfoPath.2</li>
  <li>Wget/1.9+cvs-stable (Red Hat modified)</li>
  </ul>
  <p>and maybe a couple of others. They do not pass the query string at all.</p>
  <h3>Why does IE not pass the query string parameter to the php file called as a script?</h3>
  <p>Thanks for any suggestions!</p>
