Hi

here’s the relevant part of my code:

```auto
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js"></script>  
$(document).ready(function(){
	$.ajax({url:"db.xml",success:function(res){				
		loadDivs(res)
		doSearch()	
	}})
})

```

works well in chrome (everything works in chrome o.0), but not in ie. In ie the file won’t load.

Thanks in advance!
