Ok, I've added a variant based on the two <script> tags into jquery.xsajax.js. In Konqueror it fires the callback, but unfortunately always immediately. I don't know why, but Konqueror/KHTML is different enough from Safari/WebKit, so this doesn't have to mean anything. So, could someone with Safari at hand be so kind and quickly view http://trainofthoughts.org/repo/export/jquery/jquery.xsajax.test.html and tell me what output sequence (N. xxxxx, N. xxxx) is visible?
