javascript - jQuery.ajax not working in IE7/8 -

something in script breaking ie.

i'm looking on collection of links class, , hijacking url's. clicking link animate height , reveal message. ajax request mark message read.

however, in ie goes url instead of staying on page , processing http request.

$('.message .subject .subject_link').click(function(e) {      toggle_message(e)     return false;  });   function toggle_message(m) {  var link = m.target; var parent = $(link).parent().parent(); console.log(link.href); $.ajaxsetup({      url: link.href,     datatype: 'json',     timeout: 63000,     type: 'get',     cache: false  });  if($(parent).hasclass('unread')) {      $(parent).addclass('read').removeclass('unread');      $.ajax({          complete: function(r, textstatus) {             console.log(r.responsetext)         }      });  }  if($(parent).find('.body_wrapper').hasclass('collapsed')) {     $(parent).find('.body_wrapper').addclass('expanded').removeclass('collapsed');     $(parent).find('.body_wrapper').animate({             height: 'toggle'     }) } else {     $(parent).find('.body_wrapper').addclass('collapsed').removeclass('expanded');     $(parent).find('.body_wrapper').animate({             height: 'toggle'     })  } 

}

any ideas what's causing issue? http://support.cooper.krd-design.net/ tester: 12345 if want review page

adding

e.preventdefault();

before toggle_message in first function should work, although return false should well.
