I have tried to find a solution for this problem for hours now, but the following code is simply not working for Internet Explorer 11. It does work for Chrome and Firefox. When using IE11 the post is submitted but the submitted form is empty.

```
<!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
        <head>
            <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" />
            <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
        </head>
        <body>
            <form action="/Mandate/Edit" id="mandateForm" method="post">            
                <input id="ExternalId" name="ExternalId" type="hidden" value="" />
                <input id="mandateName" name="mandateName" type="text" />
                <a href="#" id="md-submit">Create</a>
            </form>
            <script type="text/javascript">
                $(function () {
                    $("#md-submit").on("click", function (e) {
                        e.preventDefault();
                        var form = $("#mandateForm");
                        var request = $.ajax({
                            type: "POST",
                            url: form.attr("action"),
                            data: {
                                mandateName: "test4711"
                            },
                            dataType: 'json',
                            cache: false
                        });
                    });
                });
            </script>
        </body>
    </html>

```

Thank you very much for your help.
