title: jQuery ajax get request not working with IE 11
body: <p>I use this code to detect changes to a form and then perform a get request using the serialized form data. This works in all browsers that I have tested on. But I'm on a mac and now I get emails from people saying that it doesn't work in IE 11. What could be wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Error message: "webpage.com is not responding due to a long running script"</p>
  
  <p>I've tried testing this myself using IE 11 in a VirtualBox but the webpage becomes unresponsive as soon as I change something to the form. I'm not sure how to find out what's wrong.. I have no loops so I don't get why this script would make the page unresponsive.</p>
  
  <p>Please help.</p>
  
  <pre><code>jQuery('.appselect').change(function(e) {
   if (jQuery(window).width() &gt; 800) {
    jQuery.get('/?' + jQuery('#appfilter').serialize(), function(data) {
      jQuery('#postloop').replaceWith( jQuery(data).find('#postloop') );
  
      if (!jQuery('#pagination').length) {
        jQuery('#postloop').after(jQuery(data).find('#pagination'));
      } else {
        jQuery('#pagination').replaceWith(jQuery(data).find('#pagination'));
      }
    });
   }
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is a wordpress page, but I think the problem is not related to Wordpress. I'm using jQuery 1.11.1.</p>
