Steps to Reproduce

The issue can be reproduced on a simple page with no Telerik controls that contains a reference to jQuery. The following example demonstrates the Visual Studio output window showing JavaScript errors when a project that references jQuery is run in the debug mode under Internet Explorer.

<asp:ScriptManager ID="Scriptmanager1" runat="server">
<Scripts>
<asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/jquery-1.9.1.js" />
</Scripts>
</asp:ScriptManager>
</form>

As a result, the Exception was thrown at line 4224, column 4 in http://localhost:60537/WebSite1/Scripts/jquery-1.9.1.js is thrown and the 0x800a139e - JavaScript runtime error: SyntaxError error occurs.
