ok so I tried on a different input that is located on a different subpage and it also does not work. I tried both ie8 and ie9. The strange thing is that it works on the login page and it does not work on the other pages ? And I have no idea why.....
I fixed the problem. Before I get to the inputs I had a popup which i needed to close and since i was getting no error i was thinking that its just closing the popup too fast. But the problem was that in IE the popup does not appear at all so now
