A page resetting is a symptom of using document.write() after it's
finished loading. And in fact this is what you are doing.

Your AJAX request to http://vgi.unl.edu/jax/search.php?search=boston
returns a fully-formed HTML page, complete with <script> references to
the Maps API and your Javascript files. When you inject that into your
sidebar, the browser loads the API again, and that includes a
document.write to load the full Maps API. That resets the page.

You need to alter that PHP script so that it returns *only* what is
required for the sidebar. No <html>, <body> or whatever: *just* the
content of the target div.

I believe it works in Chrome because Chrome ignores the extraneous
<head> element you are introducing. That's what contains the API
loader script, so it never gets run. The other two fall over in a heap
because you're re-loading the page and various things are either not
being done or being done slightly out of sync, which is why their
behaviour differs.

Rule 1 when using AJAX: always test the values you are fetching.
