javascript Ajax SCRIPT1003: Expected ':' in IE 11
Usually objects in javascript are initialized as key value pairs, so data should probably be initialized like
data:{ place : place, names : names, report : report }See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Object_initializer
In ECMAScript 2015 it seems you can omit the key part in certain situations, which is why it works on chrome.
I had the SCRIPT1003: Expected ':' error as well in IE 11 (and my code worked fine in Chrome & FireFox). If someone uses Knockoutjs and encounters this, watch out for the syntax when stating functions in your view model:
var viewModel = { property1: "", functionWorksInAllBrowsers: function (arg1, arg2) { // ... }, functionThrowsErrorInInternetExplorer11(arg1, arg2) { //... }};
