When bind view model attribute to a input textbox, it crashes in IE-Collection of common programming errors

Assuming that you are getting some results back of type Stakeholder and storing them in searchResults –

Works in IE8. But since your searchResults is a KO.observableArray() I assume that you need to foreach your searchResults, but without a better picture of what you are doing it’s hard to tell, here that is anyway.

I also can’t tell what orgName is or how it is being passed to the constructor of the Stakeholder, if it is a KO.observable then remove it as a parameter and use orgName(), if it is a parameter being passed in then move it up to the parent function and rename it to ensure it isn’t a circular reference.

var Stakeholder = (function (organizationName) {
    var self = this;
    function Stakeholder() {
        this.orgName = ko.observable(self.organizationName);
    };
    return Stakeholder;
})();

Last, not sure what the ‘blah’ element is at the bottom, maybe just a copy pasta typo?
