Jquery ajax not working in ie. help! please

I have a page that has a simple AJAX call that works fine in firefox and chrome but not in ie. In IE my loading image shows up but the actual sourceURL never loads or shows. Below is my html and javascript code.
Can anyone help me with this?


<div id="design_strap" style="display:none">
<a href="javascript:loadContent('#content', 'strap.html');">Link</a>
<div id="content"></div>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">

$.ajaxSetup ({
// Disable caching of AJAX responses
cache: false
});

function loadContent(elementSelector, sourceUrl) {
$(""+elementSelector+"").html('<p><img src="images/loading.gif" width="150" height="150" /></p>');
$(""+elementSelector+"").load(""+sourceUrl+"");
//$("content").height(350);
}
</script>

I feel like an idiot. The problem was like it always is something so simple. I missed a closing div in my html source. Goes to show you a good nights sleep gives you the opportunity to come back with a fresh outlook and discover the obvious.
