[thelist] JavaScript/Ajax - responseText and IE question

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

Any chance the object that you think is a string really isn't, but it's being implicitly converted in the alert?  I realize the chances of this are pretty slim in an all-variant world, but what happens if you use .toString on the response before shoving it into that div tag?

As just noted in my last message - I get the full string of text which is:

" 

You have been successfully added to the list."

But IE won't apply it to the div via innerHTML. However it does this just fine during the earlier
state change:

m = document.getElementById('msg');
m.innerHTML = "working..."

which seems very odd...
