After scratching my head for a couple of hours, wondering why a submit worked but an onchange didn't, I ran across your article. You're a lifesaver! Thanks for posting both the problem AND the solution. Cheers

Thanks for this post, it didn't solve my problem but it led me to thinking about why it wasn't.

In my case I've found out that IE doesn't set the accept headers correctly, so you have to request a file with the right extension (.js, probably).

If you're not using one of the ruby remote form doodads, you'll want to not only set jQuery to munge the xhr headers, but also ensure the form is sent to /widget/69.js and not the default /widget/69

You can see the code snippet I use at http://gist.github.com/111459

cheers,
