I was CC'd on an email thread about this last year - IE can sometimes call xhr callbacks at inappropriate times (like when in the middle of a JS function call). Summarizing the thread, it seems that invoking certain JS functions in IE (like alert()) can cause IE to re-enter the message loop and start processing messages which can cause things like XHR request callbacks to be invoked. I'm pretty sure this is better classified as a bug in IE rather than as expected JS language behavior, though. -atw -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
