Hi all,
the following lines lead to IE7 using the XmlHttpRequest object as
ActiveX object and not as native JavaScript object (even if it's not
sooo native):
// If IE is used, create a wrapper for the XMLHttpRequest object
if ( jQuery.browser.msie )
XMLHttpRequest = function(){
return new ActiveXObject(
navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE 5") >= 0 ?
"Microsoft.XMLHTTP" : "Msxml2.XMLHTTP"
);
};

I think it would be better to avoid ActiveX in IE7 and use object
detection like the following, besides that Opera can disguise itself
completely as IE
(http://webstandardsgroup.org/features/david-storey.cfm, see question 9):
// If IE is used, create a wrapper for the XMLHttpRequest object
if ( !XMLHttpRequest && ActiveXObject )
XMLHttpRequest = function(){
return new ActiveXObject(
navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE 5") >= 0 ?
"Microsoft.XMLHTTP" : "Msxml2.XMLHTTP"
);
};
