I'm collecting stats on user clicking behavior. In this example, I
write an entry into the database whenever someone clicks a link that
starts a download:

<a href="program.exe" onclick="logClick()">download program</a>

function logClick() {
   new Ajax.Request(
      '/logger.php?action=1'
   );
}

This works great in Internet Explorer and Firefox. In Firefox, my
Firebug highlights the request in red as if it's an error. Anyway, I
see my database being updated, so I'm not too worried. What I'm
worried about is this fails to work in Safari 4. The only way I can
get it to work is:

function logClick() {
   new Ajax.Request(
      '/logger.php?action=1', {
         onSuccess: function(transport) {
            alert(transport.responseText);
         }
      }
   );
}

For some reason, this causes the database to be written to.
Transport.responseText is blank for unknown reasons. How do I get this
to work without the alert? The alert degrades the user experience.
