Error creating object in IE8
<p>I have the following code:</p>

<pre><code>    var APP= APP || {};
    APP.settings = {
        apiRoot: "http://localhost/appapi",
        siteRoot: "http://localhost",
    };
</code></pre>

<p>This code works in Chrome and Firefox but is throwing an error in IE8, <code>Unable to set value of the property 'settings': object is null or undefined</code> </p>

<p>This isn't my code so I'm at a bit of a loss to why this isn't working?</p>
