tablekit and IE

i faced some strange problem today.

i tested TableKit and it didn’t work in IE.
i tested everything i could and finally found the reason.

if meta tag is not included, this script doesn’t work.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

i don’t know why..  i can’t understand at all..
there are a lot of strange things in the world
