I have tested this on Windows XP SP3 in IE7 and IE8 ( in all compatibility modes ) and Windows 7 Ultimate in IE8 (in all compatiblity modes) and it fails the same way on both. I am running the latest HEAD from the the couchapp repository. This works fine on my OSX 10.6.3 development machine. I have tested with Chrome 4.1.249.1064 (45376) and Firefox 3.6 on Windows 7 Ultimate and they both work fine. As do both Safari 4 and Firefox 3.6 on OSX 10.6.3
Here is the error message

and here is the "offending" bit of code, which works on Chrome, Firefox and Safari just fine. If says the failure is on the line that starts qs.forEach()
from the file jquery.couch.app.js
157 var qs = document.location.search.replace(/^?/, ).split( & );
158 var q = {};
159 qs.forEach(function(param) {
160 var ps = param.split( = );
161 var k = decodeURIComponent(ps[0]);
162 var v = decodeURIComponent(ps[1]);
163 if (["startkey", "endkey", "key"].indexOf(k) != -1) {
164 q[k] = JSON.parse(v);
165 } else {
166 q[k] = v;
167 }
168 });
