This is a support ticket, stating the fact if that IE not support the characte encoding or somehow misinterprets the encoding you will get a strange javascript error called: c00ce56e.

This will apply on all your ajax transfers for one. And bug you ever so much.

For example i had a text/html;charset=utf8 header returned from a php-webservice i wrote. Nice i though, charencoding is the "plant-shit" (Crank quote) and code along and thought to myself, "Damn i'm a witty one". until i started the  "IE" beast.. the beast throw out all my claims and the lookout for actually winning this went down. Until i found the above URL.. That is some crackhed shit right there. (Crank anyone?!).

What it's stating more or less is that if IE 7 or 8 (or any program that uses whatever that is located in what dll) would more or less shit its pants when it run over an unspported encoding.. In this case UTF-8..

Ok, i'm a swedish guy and uses windows iso latin craptastic charsets more or less everyday but when coding for internationally webpages that are targeting multiple countries you cant get to be staring blindly at your own chars åäö...

Any way.. by altering my header to a text/html instead of a text/html;charset=utf8 response to my ajax script i solved alot of strange error shit.  (but not my previous post with the fact that IE dont succed even if it would want to, thats a total other question but related but not directly if you get my drift.)..
