The following EXTREMELY basic test will not run in my IE8 on either XP or Win7. Native IE8, not emulation !
It fails silently and does not run to completion, the final consoel.log('finished') is never executed.
If IE Dev Tools are open then there is a JS error :
Unexpected call to method or property access, can.custom.2.0.4.min.js line 10 character 1204
