Theme Repository Search Not Working in IE

[mrwweb]

In Internet Explorer (including in safe mode), the search does not appear to work. One can enter a term but hitting return in the search box does nothing.

There are two errors in the console.

SCRIPT5: Access is denied.
File: follow_button.html, Line: 1, Column: 1

and

SCRIPT5: Access is denied.
File: like.php, Line: 1, Column: 1

And the error is apparently coming from "theme.js on line 1335 one for the search" (thanks @clorith).

I believe the error is coming from the new Event('click'). From what I can find, IE (any version) doesn't support the Event constructor. Since we already have jQuery loaded, jQuery.Event('click') here should work.

In 1444:

Use jQuery to create Event objects since IE doesn't support the Event constructor. Fixes #967.
