title: jQuery isn't loading and '$' is undefined in IE8
body: <p>I am trying to do a very basic thing with jQuery, and it's not working at all in IE8 but works fine in Firefox, Safari and Chrome; IE gives me an "Object Expected" all the time.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help?  I'm not sure what is wrong as the page is very basic:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"&gt;
  &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
      &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.5.2.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
      &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
          $(function() { 
              alert("It works!");
          });
      &lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>IE (and only IE) gives me an error saying "Object Expected" on the loading code.  I have the IE Dev Toolbar and <code>$</code> is undefined but in Firebug it comes up as "function".  really don't know what is causing this.</p>
