[BNM] Javascript/ajax makes my text crusty in IE!

[Dan Eastwell]

'Crustified's a technical term, eh? ;)

Got any more details/example?

Have you tried using an alternative library e.g jquery (which I am using) -
not that I've done any detailed comparisons between libraries, but this
might solve it.

Loading a page via innerHTML is pretty straightforward with this:

$("div#example").load("results.php?theValue=" + theValue);

("search for div id="example" and load results.php's returned HTML into it,
passing 'theValue' from the page")

It would also be an idea to make sure that you *do* have a doctype, opening
and closing html tags, etc, in your example, to be sure that you know you're
not throwing flaky old IE into any unknown rendering mode.

HTH, but not super-clear on what you're trying to do/what's happening.

Cheers,

Dan.
