hi walter,
this seem to be a known issue on rails trac.
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8259
It only happens on file:/// protocol when native XmlHttpRequest is
used which is as a matter of fact default configuration.
to work around this issue, you might want to patch your prototype.js
file in that way:

invert first 2 functions for getTransport in Ajax:
var Ajax = {
  getTransport: function() {
    return Try.these(
      function() {return new ActiveXObject('Msxml2.XMLHTTP')}, // was
in 2nd place
      function() {return new XMLHttpRequest()}, // was 1st
      function() {return new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP')}
    ) || false;
  },

  activeRequestCount: 0
};
worked for me on prototype 1.6.1 with IE 8

cheers
