When should this be launched, then? I thought onComplete called the callback function after the entire ajax call had completed, regardless of success/failure ? > For your trouble, what is the response text of the AJAX request ?? > you should check it too, in case xML was not recognize by IE and set > as text. It definitely returns XML .. It's something like this : <Departments> <ou name='foo' value='bar' /> <ou name='baz' value='qux' /> </Departments> The parent_response function will parse that, create what I need, and display it. The problem is, originalRequest doesn't seem to get set, or if it does, it's not by what I'm expecting. Should I call the AJAX some other way instead of via the body onload? > -- > david > > On 16 sep, 23:26, Jason Frisvold <xenopha...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I'm running into a problem with IE8 and responseXML.
