Dave has it right - the only issue on browser dependency I've found was with sending hefty packets via the xmlhttprequest... beyond the browser actually supporting the call in the first place.
The biggest hurdle I found was the space character being presented as a "+" character when using Safari. Another bit - for debugging xmlhttprequest I found the "firebug" extension for firefox to be very powerful. -- Jim Palmer ! Mammoth Web Operations > Yeah, pretty much.
