Does this happen in both IE and Firefox, or only in IE?
If it's only in IE, IE has some kind of issue with returning XML with
the incorrect header content type.
Check the bottom of this post for a function:
http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/036d49aead899d68
Try using the function text2html by Diego A. on the returned XML data.
Before you do that, remove the dataType:"xml" and contentType:"text/
xml" from your AJAX call so that IE will not error on the response due
to mismatched content type.
