Yeah, I'm using AjaxToolbox which is a nice lite, easy to use and flexible library.

I found the problem in the end. My server code was trying to send non-XML safe characters. The text containing the characters was contained in a CDATA section and firefox had no problems with it, but IE spat the dummy.

Cheers,
Phil.

Are there any around that people are using for Delphi? Typically they
create you Javascript classes to call from your Delphi source code. So
you just create the object (with a mapper file on your web server) and
call the method and the infrastructure takes care of all the rest.
I implemented a file upload using AJAX that _accurately_ tells you how
far through the upload you are using AJAX (it asks the server how much
of the file you have uploaded). It really makes uploading via HTTP
fantastic!

Agreed. IE is consistently the biggest factor in the time it takes me to
make a web app.

In fact I'm struggling right now with an IE problem that should work
fine (using xmlHttpRequest) but doesn't (works fine in Firefox etc).
*sigh*
