IE8 not adding null fields about jquery-csv HOT 8 CLOSED

Have you tried the latest release (ie 0.62)? 

Well, I was successfully able to reproduce the bug.

The one caused by the data set you posted was fixed in 0.62:
  "Del","Trotter",,"0123 456 789"

But there's another elusive one where quoted but empty values get skipped.

That would look like this:
  "Del", "Trotter","", "0123 456 789"

The first step is to pinpoint if your use case still fails in IE8 with the 
latest code. I don't currently have an IE8 environment setup (I run IE9) but I 
have included a null value test in the latest release (0.63) that should 
pinpoint the specific problem. 

What I need from you is to run the test runner and post the results. 
Fortunately, it's very easy.

The link for the test runner is:
http://jquery-csv.googlecode.com/git/test/test.html

With the following data:
"Are you thinking what I\'m thinking?",,"aim for the bushes"
"Are you thinking what I\'m thinking?","","aim for the bushes"

The test should fail with the result:
  [
    [
      "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?",
      "",
      "aim for the bushes"
    ],
    [
      "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?",
      "aim for the bushes"
    ]
  ]

IE. the first entry makes passes but the second one fails because the null 
value is skipped during the parsing phase.

I just use Virtualbox

OK, that means it's currently working consistently with the rest of the 
browsers.

So, this:

    "Del","Trotter",,"0123 456 789"

Should parse properly in 0.63.

If you were to write it as:

    "Del", "Trotter","","0123 456 789"

It will fail.

*Note: I use VirtualBox too but am too lazy to spend the time setting up a new 
windows image.*

Also, it's a good idea to remove the spaces before/after the commas. They're 
allowed for now but the next parser implementation will throw errors on 'dirty' 
data.

OK, it's fixed...

It turns out that one of the previous bugfixes needed to skip empty delimited 
matches for a good reason but I neglected to notice that another check was 
needed to add them back in.

If you could run the test runner again to verify that it's working, I would 
appreciate it. Then I'll be able to close this once and for all.

Note: The fix will be incorporated into 0.64 when it's released. Until then you 
can get the working source from the repository.
