So I've been pulling my hair out with IE8 ... again. I wrote some code that was working like a charm in FF and Chrome:
$(this).val().trim().match(match)
Sadly this code did not work in IE8 and I got the following error:
"Object doesn't support this property or method"
Changing it to the below did the trick:
jQuery.trim($(this).val()).match(match)
Another part of my life wasted debugging IE issues :(
