JavaScript runs in firefox, but not IE or Chrome?

Question

I have the following JavaScript in my site :

 $(function() {
    var $cells = $("td");

    $("#search").keyup(function() {
        var val = $.trim(this.value).toUpperCase();
        if (val === "")
            $cells.parent().show();
        else {
            $cells.parent().hide();
            $cells.filter(function() {
                return -1 != $(this).text().toUpperCase().indexOf(val);
            }).parent().show();
        }
    });
});​

Link to it in action.

This example works in all browsers, so I assume the problem is with my HTML somewhere. Here is the relevant part :

  <div id="searchContainer">
                <input id="search" type="text">
            </div>
                <table>
                <tr>
                    <th>Username</th>
                    <th>Full name</th> 
                    <th>Tick to select</th>
               </tr>
           @foreach (var user in result) {
            <tr><td>@user.Username</td> <td>@user.FirstName @user.SecondName</td>
                <td><input type="checkbox" name="userId" value="@user.UserId" /></td></tr>
                }

The error I am thinking must be here since the code works perfectly in Firefox but does not run at all in Chrome or IE.

Answer 1

Maybe because you are missing the closing / on your input search box...

<input id="search" type="text">

should be

<input id="search" type="text" />

If not, try posting the generated source, to ensure what the client is actually seing rather than what asp.net is seeing (I'm assuming you are using Asp.net mvc with razor?).
