Ajax Async Request fails in IE8

[JVisser]

Hi, i have a problem with a ajax call.

This method is giving me headaches.

jQuery("#" + loader).show();

jQuery.ajax({

type: "POST", url: adresXpressUrl, dataType: "json", async: false, cache: true, data: { postcode: postcode, housenumber: housenumber, RequestVerificationToken: getAntiForgeryToken() }, success: function(data) {

var html = ""; if (data.status > 0) {

document.getElementById(streetFieldId).value = data.street; document.getElementById(townFieldId).value = data.town.toLowerCase().capitalize(); document.getElementById(countryFieldId).value = "NL"; html = addressSingleLine(postcode, housenumber, housenumberSuffix, data.street, data.town); submit = true;

} else {

document.getElementById(streetFieldId).value = null; document.getElementById(townFieldId).value = null; html = "<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"true\" name=\"invalid\" /><span class=\"field-validation-error\">Message</span>";

} $(updateDiv).update(html); jQuery("#" + loader).hide();

}

});

Because the method async is it keeps giving me an empty result set. If i set async to true then i can perform the method and i get the correct value.

This problem only occures in IE8 on XP SP3. FF3.5/Safari/IE6/IE7 can execute this code without any problem.

Any help is welcome.

The code you have isn't a complete test case. It would be best to try and debug this on the forums (for example see if ​cache:false helps), and reopen this ticket with a complete and minimal test case if the problem is still there.
