Can anyone enlighten me as to why the following code won’t work in IE7 but it works just fine in Chrome/Firefox?

$(document).ready(function(){
  $.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    dataType: "text",
    cache: false,
    url: "/ajax/ajax.asp",
    data: "cmd=check_forfeits",
    success: function(msg) {
      return false;
    }
  });
});

The javascript error IE throws out is ‘Permission Denied’

If I remove that bit of code from the JS file for the page in question the page works just fine, no errors, so the error lies in that bit of code I believe.

:::UPDATE:::

Something else that is a little strange is that when I refresh the page (in IE7) I get no javascript errors and this code seems to work correctly. So it’s as if the first time the page loads this code snippet errors but after that it runs just fine.

:::UPDATE:::

Here are the fiddler posts for this page from IE7:

    I ran into the same issue.

    I did a work around to resolve the issue. I wrote the code to make the ajax call without using jQuery (created XMLHttpObject, onreadystatechange, etc). Then I used jQuery to parse the XML.

    For some reason the jQuery’s ajax doesn’t work well with IE7.

    You don’t really get an error in IE7 but if you debug it then you’ll see that the server is never hit and or code never reaches the success block.
