My app is running in almost all browsers but when I use ie8 Expected Identifier happened.

 $scope.delete = function (index) {

        $scope.recipelists.splice(index, 1);

        localStorage.setItem('markedRecipes', JSON.stringify($scope.recipelists))

        if ($scope.recipelists == 0) {
            $modalInstance.dismiss('cancel');
        }
} 

this is where ie8's console direct me when the error shows.

I don't know what's wrong with this.

Thanks!

• Do IE8 supports local storage? – qamar Commented Jan 21, 2015 at 5:54
• This might answer stackoverflow./questions/3452816/… – PipeMan Commented Jan 21, 2015 at 5:58
• @qamar: Either way, that would throw a reference error, not a syntax error. – Felix Kling Commented Jan 21, 2015 at 5:59
• Check if any of these is a possibility, stackoverflow./questions/2149762/… – Janaki Sathiyamurthy Commented Jan 21, 2015 at 6:00
• 1 delete is a keyword in javascript so it may cause problem also as pankaj said .splice can also cause problem. not sure will need to check. – chandings Commented Jan 21, 2015 at 6:12

IE8 doesn't support reserved words as literal object properties. Use

$scope['delete']

instead.

As per my understanding IE8 give storage to only valid domains. Try placing your example in some Web-server it should resolve the issue.

I faced the same issue when I tested it as an individual file but when i placed it in a server(Tomcat in my case) it just worked fine.
