The IE team has been trying to retire VBScript for years. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/Hh700404.aspx indicates that support was removed from the ExecScript API. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dn384057(v=vs.85).aspx explains that it’s removed from IE11 Edge mode in the Internet Zone.

Many sites I have found have suggested that IE may be caching your code and suggest to append the code to $(“#home”).click(function(e) { $(“.tabs”).attr(“src”,”tabs-home.gif”); $(“.islice”).hide(‘fast’); $(“.islice”).load(“home.html?” + new Date().getTime() ); $(“.islice”).show(‘fast’); e.preventDefault(); }); This should ensure that a IE isn’t caching.
