New Post: SPServices in IE8 on a SharePoint 2007 Site

Paul, thanks for taking the time to respond-- good questions.

1. I'm using IE10, but am changing to IE8 Standards in the dev panel. Everything displays in the panel's IE9 and IE10 Standards views, but IE8 doesn't show any information in the web part.
   
2. The jQuery version is 2.0.3. I just picked it up this week, so it's as up to date as it can be. I don't know if there are any known issues between this version and IE8.
   
3. I think I got a little ahead of myself with the attachEvent thing. When I switch to the Script area of the dev panel, it lists several errors:
   

SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'addEventListener' 
jquery.js, line 834 character 4

SCRIPT5009: 'jQuery' is undefined 
jquery.SPServices-2013.01.min.js, line 21 character 1

SCRIPT5007: The value of the property '$' is null or undefined, not a Function object 
itemstatus.aspx, line 913 character 5

I tend to discount the second and third because I know the jQuery file is good-- the stuff renders correctly in both IE9 and 10 Standards views, so it isn't a problem with the source files. That leaves the first, which complains about the addEventListener method. In my brief research it appears IE8 has problems with this specific method and requires attachEvent instead. (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9769868/addeventlistener-not-working-in-ie8) Am I looking at this correctly? I'm fairly new to all this sort of work, so I'm hoping others in the community have dealt with this in the past and know how to deal with it.

Thanks for your help,

AP
