Dropdown doesn't work in IE8

[Claudia]

Hi,

I am trying to re-use the code supplied in the demo's page
http://demos.kendoui.com/web/datasource/shared-datasource.html

but the dropdown does not work on IE8. Why is that?
 Attached the code just in case.

Thank you
Claudia

Hello Claudia,

When using a JSON datasource on a remote server, it should be requested and served as JSONP. However, the particular datasource from our site that you have taken in this case is not CORS enabled (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) and the returned datasource is empty. As a result, the DropDownList does not open.

You can either use a local JSON datasource, or use the following example and JSONP datasource:
