JQuery delegate not firing in IE8 and lower
<p>I have the following code below where I setup global variables, set elements to these variables and then assign a delegate change event on a dropdown.</p>

<p>The change event fires in all browsers except IE8 and lower. Not too bothered about IE7 and lower.</p>

<p>Any help appreciated?</p>

<pre><code>$(function () {
    initialisePage();
});

function initialisePage() {
    window.portfolioGroupFilters = $("#portfolioGroupFilters");
    window.portfolioGroupsList = $("#portfolioGroupsList");
    window.portfolioGroupAccounts = $("#portfolioGroupAccounts");
    window.coverSheetsList = $("#coverSheetsList");
    window.coverSheetsPanel = $("#coverSheetsPanel");
    window.reportGroupsList = $("#reportGroupsList");
    window.reportGroupPanel = $("#reportGroupsPanel");
    window.searchResults = $("#searchResults");
    setportfolioGroupFiltersdelegates();
}

function setportfolioGroupFiltersdelegates() {
    portfolioGroupFilters.delegate(".availableFilters", "change", function () {});
}
</code></pre>
