Hey there -- first post on the board, but I see a lot of great and
talented folks on here. Looking forward to interacting with all of you
and I hope I get some knowledge transfer just from association... :-)

I've been working on grabbing an XML doc using $.ajax. When I was
working on it locally, it would work fine in Firefox and not in IE.
And now when I put it up on an internal dev server I'm getting a
parsererror for both browsers.

When I use overrideMimeType in Firefox, the issue goes away, but of
course still chokes in IE since it doesn't support that method. I've
set dataType in the $.ajax call to xml but it still seems to fail on
me.

>From what I can see, I'm able to open the XML doc in browsers just
fine. It isn't malformed. It must have something to do with the MIME
type since overriding it in Firefox works okay. I'm just not sure how
this is possible to do in IE.

Is there something I'm missing here? Let me know if you want me to
post any code, but I thought I'd just ask generally before getting
into the nitty gritty of things.

P.S. I'm not using the metadata plugin either...just the new jquery
xpath plugin and taconite.
