I thought about that. It's not clear that it's fixable at this
level. If not, it'll be documented.

Yeah, I know. I poked at it briefly, but couldn't figure out what was
goiing on. MSIE on the Mac doesn't work at all (no AJAT), and I don't
have regular access to a Windows box to try it on.

Also Safari, Mozilla and Netscape. If you try it with a browser
without XMLHttpRequest, it'll suggest them.

Yup, I've seen that one as well. I have *no* idea what Opera thinks
it's doing. Adding a charset to the content-type didn't solve the
problem. I checked opera's web site, and couldn't find a page for web
developers.

I've added a note about these problems.

Actually, it's doing form processing. It's doing XMLHttpRequests.
