Regardless, I'm leaning towards the dataType: "auto" approach as it's easy to use/implement and affords enough control.
Well, so, first, I translated the dataType to "auto" when it was null/undefined in my rewriting (because I hate messy/undefined values). But that's no biggy. Second, auto seems like the weirdest thing ever to me used like it is here. So dataType==null and dataType=="auto" act the same for xml but not for script & json? Seems completely inconsistant to me. If a coder does not want auto conversion, then he simply specifies a dataType (namely "text"). You just have to document it. But, please, do not introduce a behavior that will act differentely for xml than it does for any other dataType deduced from content type headers. 2009/12/26 webbiedave <webbied...@websiteguard.com> > I was referring solely to the "bitwise or" style.
