javascript working in Firefox or Chrome not IE

Question

I have the following lines of code in my .js file

$(triggers.restart).live('click', function (e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  plugin.method.startQuiz(this);
});

The code is working fine in Firefox or Chrome but not in Internet Explorer. What might be wrong?

look into the IE settings, maybe JS is off. If that still doesnt work try on another computer. if it STILL doesn't work, well, it is IE — Ben Thomson, May 03 '12 at 23:37
It is pretty impossible to debug this issue without more code. The issue could be a great number of things. Put it in a fiddle if you want a serious answer - [jsfiddle](http://jsfiddle.net/). — sic1, May 04 '12 at 00:10

In IE preventDefault isn't supported. Instead you set the return value. There's more info about it here: event.preventDefault() function not working in IE

He appears to be using jquery, and they normalize prevent default for you already. [reference](http://forum.jquery.com/topic/event-preventdefault-and-ie) – sic1 May 04 '12 at 00:08
