Internet Explorer 8 Compatibilty jQuery

Question

Hi, Im just wondering if someone can help me on this, i keep getting this in IE8, ive been through the jQuery and checked it all for errors, i did have a couple too many ,'s after options and a few after brackets but no matter what i try i can not get it to recognise the $ code as below...

$(document).ready(function() {


    /* --------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
    /*  1.  Main Slider (Revolution Slider)
    /* --------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

    $('.revslider').revolution( {  <-- THIS IS LINE 31
        delay                 : 9000,
        startwidth            : 1120,
        startheight           : 535,

        onHoverStop           : "on",                   // Stop Banner Timet at Hover on Slide on/off

        thumbWidth            : 100,                    // Thumb With and Height and Amount (only if navigation Tyope set to thumb !)
        thumbHeight           : 50,
        thumbAmount           : 3,

        hideThumbs            : 200,
        navigationType        : "none",                 //bullet, thumb, none, both  (No Shadow in Fullwidth Version !)
        navigationArrows      : "verticalcentered",     //nexttobullets, verticalcentered, none
        navigationStyle       : "round",                //round,square,navbar

        touchenabled          : "on",                   // Enable Swipe Function : on/off

        navOffsetHorizontal   : 0,
        navOffsetVertical     : 20,

        stopAtSlide           : -1,                     // Stop Timer if Slide "x" has been Reached. If stopAfterLoops set to 0, then it stops already in the first Loop at slide X which defined. -1 means do not stop at any slide. stopAfterLoops has no sinn in this case.
        stopAfterLoops        : -1,                     // Stop Timer if All slides has been played "x" times. IT will stop at THe slide which is defined via stopAtSlide:x, if set to -1 slide never stop automatic

        fullWidth             : "on",

        shadow                : 0
    });

You can use jQuery instead of $ , leading to

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery('.revslider').revolution( {
        ...

Also note that jQuery 2.x doesn't support IE8 - see here .

You need to use jQuery 1.x for support of IE6+.

Also check if you include your scripts correctly - see this question: How does $(document).ready() work in IE 8?
