[jQuery] AJAX Request

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi.

I have just setup a basic site where you click the link and jQuery
retrieves the link via ajax. Code as follows:

<script type="text/javascript">
function fetchURL(obj){

    var page_address = obj.href;

    $.ajax{(
       url: page_address,
       type: "GET",
       dataType: "html",
       error: function(e){
             alert("An Error has occured" + e);
       },
       success: function(data){
             $("#returned_data").empty();
             $("#returned_data").append(data);
       }
    });

return false;
}
</script>
<a href="about.php" onclick="fetchURL(this); return false;">About</a>

This script works fine with Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 Beta 2. However,
as soon as you use Internet Explorer it all goes wrong and you get a
blank screen.

Does anyone know why this may be?

Notes:
I am using the latest version of Jquery
Internet Explorer version 7 (Latest Available)

Thanks.
Alex
