Hi Bruce, Someone with more experience on this than me can hopefully jump in here, but I noticed your server's response headers for those "Recent" link AJAX requests contained:
Content-Type application/json I see that you are specifying that as the "dataType" option on your .ajax() calls, so that's all good. But I remember a comment that someone entered on J�rn's blog regarding the validation plugin (which often uses JSON data) about the page's "Content-Type" meta tag being UTF-8, such as: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> Apparently under certain conditions, this content-type can cause IE 6 to have fits with JSON (and perhaps other dataTypes) Ajax responses. I'm not sure if somehow making sure the responses are encoded in UTF-8 would help (to be honest, I'm not exactly sure if that even makes sense?). But apparently, changing your page's "content-type" meta tag to: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> ...will often help make IE 6 behave like a good little browser. Sorry if that's not any help. But hopefully this could fix the problem you're seeing.
