Ajax issues in IE 6, 7, 8

I am having Ajax issues with IE (6, 7 & 8).

I am using the Simple AJAX Code-Kit (SACK) v1.6.1 which works fine in FF, GC, Opera and Safiri.

In IE it throws the error:

System error: -1072896658.
Breaking on JS error on line 157 (self.response = self.xmlhttp.responseText;).

This IE error is probably related to the content-type header of the response sent from the server, where the charset may be invalid, or not what IE is expecting. A typical cause would be setting the charset to UTF8 instead of UTF-8.

Related article:

• System error: -1072896658 in IE

The error message means that the encoding of the response is not supported.

Check the encoding of the page that you are getting. Most browsers are a bit relaxed about the syntax and accepts an encoding like UTF8, while IE demands the correct form UTF-8.

if you have charset=UTF8 change it to charset=utf-8 it will help... to solve your issue.
