I'm a bit curious as to how (and why) you intend to implement this, seeing as the ajax revamping I've been working on uses an array of dataTypes.
For example s.datTypes = ["jsonp","xml"] means: get an object (a string in that case) over jsonp that'll get parsed as xml (and this is actually working and being unit tested ;)) If your intention is to give a list of accepted dataTypes, I'd rather go for a string of the form "json | xml" if you get my idea. 2009/12/23 webbiedave <webbied...@websiteguard.com> > I'll rewrite so dataType can also accept an array.
