OAuth 2.0 usage in IE 11 issue in redirection

Hi,
I am using OAuth 2.0 Client side implicit flow to get access token. On first attempt it will prompt oauth dialog to allow to deney, when i allow it will be redirected to the given redirect url with access key as part of fragment. The token got expired after some time. and tried to get access token second time with same flow.

But on second attempt, it wont prompt for oauth dialog as the app is already installed, ideally it should redirect to the given url with access token as fragment. but it is not redirecting properly.

The same scenario is working fine in Google Chrome. I observed some javascript issues in that redirection. Please help on this as i am using IE browser control to host my application.

Thanks
