Jquery Ajax, not working in Internet explorer

Question

I\'m trying to do some jQuery ajax and it works in Firfox and Chrome, but not in internet explorer 9.

The final code will have to go across sub-domains, and this doe

Answer 1

Here's the solution I went with after about a day of struggling with this inconsistency...

// new method as to not overwrite jQuery's defaults
var cors = (window.XDomainRequest) ? function(url, callback) {

    var xdr = new XDomainRequest();
    xdr.open('get', url);
    xdr.onload = function() { callback(xdr.responseText); }
    xdr.send();

} : $.get; // else, use jQuery's method

Use...

cors(url, function(msg) { alert(msg); }); // pretty well same as $.get

Copy and paste, this of course doesn't serve all purposes, but it's a start and it works.

On the http://services.whygo.net/sendAjax2.html page, I see that you've got the expected dataType of the AJAX response coming back from the server as JSON, but the response actually comes back as a plain text string ("Email successfully sent.").

Perhaps you could try commenting out dataType and let jQuery figure out what type of response comes back.
