Alright, i`m developing a site for a contest that runs off of
asyncronus HTTP requests(AJAX is the popular term). now i'm using code
that is based strongly off the mozilla developer center's "ajax:getting
started" page found at
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/AJAX:Getting_Started
i`ve tested thier version and it works fine. but when i wrote the code,
opera and FF accepted the code, noteably excluding IE. i've narrowed
the problem to the server, but from there i'm clueless.
when i coppied the example code verbatim to my server and ran it, IE
failed agian. so i suspect that comcast's server is somehow not sending
the correct MIME type becuase the responseXML attribute of the XMLHTTP
activeX object is empty. i know of the FF workaround for this by using
..overrideMimeType(text/xml) but i dont know of an activeX (or
Jscript)counterpart to it.
is there something i need to modify on the server-side to get the
correct MIME types sent?
or is my problem elsewhere
