I replaced the
if (!this.JSON) {
var JSON = {};
}

to
if (!JSON) {
var JSON = {};
}

and worked!

Or is it someplace else in your application code? So I think I can guess at what is going on, which is that the variable JSON must already be defined in the scope somehow. If a variable is defined already within the scope, I believe it would throw an error if you tried to redeclare it with var. When you remove the var, you're probably just setting the variable that has been already defined elsewhere. This was actually the *one* place in the code that I did touch, because in the original code for this function JSON was defined as a global variable. I added the var to give JSON local scope. Looking at it closer though, it appears that the conditional logic surrounding the declaration is probably no longer relevant....i.e. it should just say <code>var JSON = {};</code> and the <code>if (!this.JSON)</code> condition can be safely removed. If it's still not working after you do that, check the other JS you're using. Are you declaring JSON elsewhere as a global variable? If so, maybe rename the global variable or give it local scope. Let me know the outcome...I think the plugin code should probably be amended assuming that works. I see, I assume “line 157″ refers to line 3 of the actual plugin code?

Actually if narrowed it down to defining:
var JSON = []; // @line 157
If I take the ‘var’ off it works in IE.
Please note I’m in IE 8, but I also tried compatibility mode.

If it does end up being a bug in the code here, please do let me know. Like I said, I literally wrapped the code from JSON.org without touching it, so I'm hoping it's unlikely there's a bug in the code here. Thanks Mark.
