Description

Hi!

I'm loading dropdown option elements dynamicaly by the

$('#section').load('/action.ashx', function() {});

method. It gets data from server and in firefox it removes content of the #section div instead of swet the content from the response. Response content is ok. I checked it by firebug and also by this:

$('#section').load('/action.ashx', function(response, status, xhr) {alert(response);});

It displays response content from the server, but doesn't update #section div element! Content of the div is only removed.

Behaviour of the IE7 is that it throws exception and if I debug the script it jumps to the line where is "Syntax error, unrecognized expression:". Firefox doesn't throw any exception even there is no line in log.

I've checked my document and it is XHTML valid.

If I change 'load' to

$('#section').html('test')

, it works great in all browsers.

I think there is a bug in the load method.

well I understand, but I can't put here production code, sorry.

I've checked right now that:

$('#section').load('/action.ashx', function (response, status, xhr) {});

doesn't work (throws an exception in IE7 and clears div content in Firefox without any exception), but this:

$.get('#section', function (data, status) {
	if (status == 'success') {
		$('#special-fields-section').html(data);
	}
});

works in both (IE7 and Firefox)!

mistake...working is this:

$.get('/action.ashx', function (data, status) {
	if (status == 'success') {
		$('#section').html(data);
	}
});

I didn't ask you to put any production code here. Just a test case which reproduces the problem else there is no way to debug this. How to report bugs

Any progress on this? Please provide a test case as there is no way to know what causes your problem.
