IE8 Errors When Defining A Javascript Object?

I knew IE8 was a pain, but I have never seen it give me such trouble. All I am trying to do is define a Javascript object and it causes an error, stopping all scripting from workin

Solution 1:

Define using appropriate data type by enclosing in quotes, "class"

Solution 2:

It is because class is a reserved keyword. Try putting quotes around it 'class'

Solution 3:

in addtion to @PickYourPoison answer you can also use this trick:

var atts= {};
atts["class"] = "LOL";
