I found the answer to my question. It was actually the sync call (async = false) which was making IE mad. I removed that and adjusted the code and everything is working fine now.
Point to Note: async=false is deprecated as of jQuery 1.5.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
