[DUG] AJAX libraries for Delphi

[Phil Middlemiss]

Yeah, I'm using AjaxToolbox which is a nice lite, easy to use and 
flexible library.

I found the problem in the end. My server code was trying to send 
non-XML safe characters. The text containing the characters was 
contained in a CDATA section and firefox had no problems with it, but IE 
spat the dummy.

Cheers,
Phil.
