动态jQuery标识符使用jquery 1.7.2在IE8中给出“对象不支持此属性或方法”

Question

does somebody know, why this throws an error in IE8?

$(function(){
    function activateTab(name){
       identifier = '#' + name;
       container = $(identifier);
    }
});

thanks for any advise.

Should work fine, wrap your code in $(document).ready function, like

$(document).ready(function() {  
  alert(activateTab("test"));
});
function activateTab(name){
   identifier = '#' + name;
   container = $(identifier);
   return container;
}
<div id="test">Tested</div>

Try:

$(function(){
    function activateTab(name){
       identifier = '#' + name;
       container = $(identifier);
        return container;
    }
    alert(activateTab("test"));
});

This is also working fine for me
