[BNM] Ajax not working in IE

[Alex]

Bruno,

I didn't see your original post with the problem in it so can't really 
comment. Are you using a JS framework? Prototype.js, Mootools or similar 
make cross browser stuff pretty straight forward but obviously it 
depends what the problem is.

I'm not saying I'm right or anything, but I just hate javascript and think it causes too much extra work and is a cross browser pain.  If you keep it simple and just post your requests back to the server where you've got better control over the code it generally works much better.
