I am having a problem with the firefox and chrome when ever i try to do a ajax post. I see that the content length is always 0 in the response and also even after specifying the datatype as 'json' the 'Accept' values in the header are set to the default values. The page works fine in IE8. I haven't checked in other versions though. I am doing a cross domain post to a web service.

The ajax method looks as shown below.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://192.168.0.104/JSONWebService/Service1.asmx/GetUserDetails",
data: "{\"tokenNumber\":" + $("#txtTokenNumber").val() + "}",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function(msg) {
var userDetail = eval("(" + msg.d + ")");
alert(userDetail.FirstName);
},
error: function(x, y, z) {
alert(x.responseText);
}
});
if you see the datatype in the above statement its written as JSON. I also get an error when ever i change the datatype to JSONP.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
