                        url: "folders.php", 
                        cache: false,
                        data: {
                                'do' : 'Ajax'

                        open: function(event, ui) {

                            alert('open');
                        },
                        error : function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown){
                             // Handle the beforeSend event
//                          alert("responseText: "+errorThrown.message);

                           },

                        success: function(data){
                            $('input.checkMovie').attr('checked',0);
                                $("#resultsTable").find('tr.selectable-row').removeClass('active');


                            if (data == '1')
                            {

                                window.location = WWW_ROOT+'movies.php?do=List&FolderID='+toFolderID;
                            }
                             $dialog.dialog("close"); 
                      }});

There's a conflict between jQuery 1.4 and Sarissa.

Is sarissa.js included on the page?

Similar reports:

https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-8282

http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=3608

http://code.google.com/p/jstree/issues/detail?id=430

This change to Sarissa seems to work.

// _SARISSA_XMLHTTP_PROGID = Sarissa.pickRecentProgID(["Msxml2.XMLHTTP.6.0", "MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0", "MSXML2.XMLHTTP", "Microsoft.XMLHTTP"]);
 _SARISSA_XMLHTTP_PROGID = Sarissa.pickRecentProgID(["MSXML2.XMLHTTP", "Microsoft.XMLHTTP"]);

Have you tried to us the Developer tools in IE to step through your code and see what is getting executed and what the variable values are? IE 8 has a great set of tools built right in by hitting F12.
