title: Jquery Code Not Working in IE8
body: <p>Happy Monday to all. </p>
  
  <p>I am writing some very basic code to create a web page where my users can go, choose an item out of a drop down list, and then a file downloads base don your choice. </p>
  
  <p>After some help I was able to get this working via jquery in the onchange event of the drop down box. I about did cartwheels when I got it to work in Firefox and then Chrome. I went to IE8 and bam!!! It doesn't work. This is pretty much par for the course. </p>
  
  <p>This is my first experience with any type of javascript. I apologize for the seemingly simple question, but let me tell you it's driving me bananas!!</p>
  
  <p>Here is the code </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
  &lt;script script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.
  js"&gt;   
   $(function() {
       $("#PrinterNames").change(function() {
           var printer = $(this).val();
           var url = "file:///C:/Users/JBenson/Desktop/PrinterScripts 
  
           /Completed"+"/"+ printer +".vbs";
       console.log(url);
           window.open(url,'Start Installation')
       });
  });
  &lt;/script&gt;      
  &lt;/head&gt;
  
  &lt;body lang=EN-US style='tab-interval:.5in'&gt;
  
  &lt;img src=inspirelogo.gif&gt;
  
  &lt;H2&gt;Welcome to the HK Printer Installation Page!&lt;/H2&gt;
        &lt;H3&gt;Please select a printer:
              &lt;select id ="PrinterNames"  name ="PrinterNames" &gt;
            &lt;option value="Please Select a Printer" selected="selected"&gt;
   Please  Select a Printer&lt;/option&gt;
            &lt;option value="Acadia"&gt;Acadia&lt;/option&gt;

                    &lt;option value="Intrepid"&gt;Intrepid&lt;/option&gt;
                    &lt;option value="Journey"&gt;Journey&lt;/option&gt;
                    &lt;option value="Malibu"&gt;Malibu&lt;/option&gt;
                    &lt;option value="Maxima"&gt;Maxima&lt;/option&gt;
                    &lt;option value="Murano"&gt;Murano&lt;/option&gt;
                    &lt;option value="Neon"&gt;Neon&lt;/option&gt;
                    &lt;option value="Nomad"&gt;Nomad&lt;/option&gt;
                    &lt;option value="Nova"&gt;Nova&lt;/option&gt;
                    &lt;option value="Prowler"&gt;Prowler&lt;/option&gt;

               &lt;/select&gt; &lt;/H3&gt;
  
  &lt;H3&gt;Steps for Printer Installation &lt;/H3&gt;
  &lt;ol&gt;
        &lt;li&gt;Select your printer from the drop down above.&lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;li&gt;You will get a pop up window that looks like this&lt;br&gt;
        &lt;img src="printerinstall.jpg" alt="Download Box" &gt;&lt;br&gt;
        Please click on open. It will iniate the installation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;li&gt;You may see a pop up box that looks like this during your installation&lt;br&gt;
        &lt;img src="trustprinter.jpg" alt="Trust Printer"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
        Click on Install driver. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;li&gt;After a few minutes, check your Devices and Printers and the printer you    
  
        selected should now be there.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ol&gt;
  &lt;H3&gt;Please contact the helpdesk at 6657 if you encounter any issues. &lt;/H3&gt;
  
  &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;

  <p>I am hoping this is something really simple that you need for IE. Any help you can provide would be so very appreciated. I am so tired of this issue I could throw the compy through a window. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks again all!</p>
