You're right, the native XMLHTTP Support is disabled and that's the reason why Ajax doesn't work. I can also confirm that with your changes in Myfaces scripts the Ajax call works fine without enabling the XMLHTTP setting.
Thanks a lot for your investigation. Regards Wahid -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Werner Punz [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Dienstag, 18.

Now there are two solutions. For a quick fix, turn on XMLHttpRequest under Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced Tab -> Scroll down to Security -> Check 'Enable Native XMLHTTP Support'. This will turn on XMLHttpRequest again, for a long fix, as it seems the xmlhttprequest fallback to ActiveX even works in Strict mode for IE8, I will enable the fallback mode in MyFaces so that the ActiveX mode is chosen instead if no window.XMLHttpRequest object is present.
