0x800a1391 - Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'applicationCache' is undefined

Hi,

I'm running the ContosoConf labs available here:

https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-ca/companion-moc.aspx

under 20480B Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3

When running any of the labs in VS 2012 Professional w/update 4, debugging in IE 9, an exception appears on index.htm, 0x800a1391 - Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'applicationCache' is undefined on this line in offline.js:

    // Error fetching appcache.manifest: so we are probably offline
    applicationCache.addEventListener("error", hideLinksThatRequireOnline, false);

It appears all the references in the project are ok and I am running IE 9.

Please advise, any help at all much appreciated. :)

Best,

O
