AJAX call only works once in IE. Works fine in Mozilla.

[makthar]

Hi
I have a JSP that calls an Ajax function when a button is clicked.
The Ajax function calls a servlet . The Ajax function works well in Mozilla , but in IE7 when the button is clicked it works well for the first time but the subsequent clicks on the button the servlet is not being called.

I am not able to debug why this problem in ocuuring in IE7 but not in Mozilla.


Thanks

Heya, Mansoor.

Changed thread title to better describe the problem.

Are you getting an error, or is it just not doing anything?

Hi
Thanks for the reply

I am not getting any javascript error , but in my servlet i print some info to the server logs whenever the servlet is called.

This works fine in mozilla. The info gets printed as many times as the ajax function calls the servlet i.e everytime the button is clicked, so this is working fine in mozilla, but in IE7 the info gets printed only once no matter how many times the button is clicked. So i figured out that the ajax function is calling the servlet only once in IE7.

Thanks
Mansoor.

Hello, makthar!

Do you have any code sample you could post?

I suggest that you use some HTTP debugger (Fiddler 2, perhaps: http://www.fiddler2.com/Fiddler2/version.asp) to see if any error occurs in the request.

Best regards.

Without code, it's difficult to say, but it seems as though it may be a problem with caching. So either disable caching or add a unique parameter to avoid caching.
