[jQuery] (validate) no data submitted to remote: from IE6 - works fine in IE7+, FF, Safari, Chrome
Hi,
We're using jquery.validate for a form with several fields. One of
the rules uses the remote: method to send a field to the server, which
replies with eithe "true" or "false" (as a string). This works in
IE7+, Firefox 2-3.5, Safari and Chrome but not in IE6. The debug bar
for IE6 lists no POST request at all - but it does list a "200 OK"
response! But the response has no length, (i.e. is empty) so the form
won't validate.
The entire header shown for IE6 is
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.8
Keep-Alive: timeout=10, max=84
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html
Whereas for IE7 (etc) i have a post reqest with response
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:45:24 GMT
Server: Apache
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.8
Content-Length: 4
Keep-Alive: timeout=10, max=90
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: text/html
We're using jquery.validate 1.5.5 with jquery 1.3.2 Before I go
completely mad trying to figure this out, I wanted to check if there
was any know incompatibilities between this version of validate and
IE6. (I found some stuff from google which suggested the .min.js and/
or .pack.js versions didn't work with IE6 so i've changed to the
uncompressed version but to no avail.
Many thanks,
Adam
