how to get jquery.couch.app.js to work with IE8
- by fuzzy lollipop
I have tested this on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 Ultimate in IE7 and IE8 (in all compatiblity modes) and it fails the same way on both. I am running the latest HEAD from the the couchapp repository. This works fine on my OSX 10.6.3 development machine. I have tested with Chrome 4.1.249.1064 (45376) and Firefox 3.6 and they both work fine. As do the Safari 4 and Firefox 3.6 on OSX 10.6.3
Here is the error message

and here is the "offending" bit of code, which works on Chrome, Firefox and Safari just fine. If says the failure is on the like that qs.forEach() from the file jquery.couch.app.js
157 var qs = document.location.search.replace(/^\?/,'').split('&');
158 var q = {};
159 qs.forEach(function(param) {
160 var ps = param.split('=');
161 var k = decodeURIComponent(ps[0]);
162 var v = decodeURIComponent(ps[1]);
163 if (["startkey", "endkey", "key"].indexOf(k) != -1) {
164 q[k] = JSON.parse(v);
165 } else {
166 q[k] = v;
167 }
168 });
