Question

Basically, I have something like this:

$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "my_url",
            cache: true,                
            success: function(data) {
              /* code here */
            },
        dataType: 'json'
}); 

This code is working in all tested browsers (IE7/8, chrome, safari, firefox) but in IE6 the success function is not called.

I used Fiddler to see what’s going on in the HTTP requests, and everything seems normal, I get the expected result as an HTTP answer but success doesn’t seem to be called in IE6, same for onerror.

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Are you sure it’s not just a cache thing? Remove your browsers cache and test again.

A good test case would be getting rid of the ‘cache’ option, and also making it a POST request (since GET ajax calls are always cached in ie6).
