IE8 and .val problems

Question

I'm having a problem with IE8 and my function. My function works fine in other browsers, but as usual IE8 is being a pain. Some boxes will be filled in while others won't be. I have checked my hash to make sure there was a value there, and the value is defined. IE8 is just choosing not to fill in some inputs. Any idea what the problem might be?

var fillTemplate = function(jsonResponse) {
        periods = jsonResponse['#input_periods'];
        generatePeriodInput();
        var $this = $(this);


        $.each(jsonResponse, function(key, value) {
            $(key).val(value);
        });
    }

Solved. Thanks to adam_bear I was able to solve this problem. I had to rename some of my ids.
