Are there any errors in the DEV console? (F12 in IE8... then refresh the page). What version of jQuery are you using?
Also,
Your last paragraph confuses me... What does addEventListener have to do with this issue? Are you attempting to use it? because I don't see it in the code you posted above.
Overall, in looking at your code, I would only suggest that you place <ul id="itemsUL"/> before the <script> tag that retrieves the data.
