Description

While using this function:

$.ajax({

type: "POST",

url: page,

data: args,

dataType: "html",

... etc.

I found that ie6 does not evaluate any scripting included in the returned data.

like:

--snip--

--snip--

fails completely in ie6 (6.0.2900.2180). This script evaluation does happen with other browsers; just not ie6.

-Thanks

Replying to [comment:1 pedromello]:

same occurs on IE7

Apparently IE6/7 can't correctly evaluate the regexp in find method to locate the script tags.

So I've coded a temporary workaround, to be called after DOM is updated.

function extractScripts(data)

{

if ($.browser.msie) {

var re = new RegExp('<script[^>]*>([\\\\S\\\\s]*?)<\\/script>','im');

var rs = data.match(/<script[^>]*>([\\S\\s]*?)<\\/script>/img);

var parse = $.map(rs, function(tag) {

return re.exec(tag).pop();

});

$(parse).each(function(k,v) {

jQuery.globalEval(v);

});

}
