I am using xhrGet to send data to the server. It works great in firefox but in internet explorer there is a problem. Internet explorer has a character limit of how many characters you can send which is 1700. I was wondering if anybody had any ideas on any work arounds.

I have a 'save' feature to save the current diagram in the drawing canvas to a file. Here's the code:
// save the current diagram to a svg file or text file.
save= function(){
dojo.xhrGet({
url: 'save.jsp',
preventCache: true,
load: saveCallback,
error: saveError,
content: {name: dojo.byId('output').value }
});
};

It works fine in FF, but I get the error(using Visual Web Developer 2005 as IE debugger) in IE7:
Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support this property or method.

I am trying for couple of days to use

I receive the content nicely, but the form element I have inside "MyUrl.php" do not get stylize like the rest of the page why?

(e.g <input type="text" name="name" id="name" size="20" dojoType="dijit.form.TextBox" required="true"> it will show a regualer textbox and not stylize)

I am trying to use dojo.xhrGet to load an XML file when all my pages are loaded from the local filesystem (not on a server). The file contains valid XML but does not have an XML extension (let's say it's xml_data.dat).

Because it's a local file, no http headers are used to set the content/mime type as it looks like Mozilla (Firefox 2 and Seamonkey) is trying to guess the mime type by file extension. That fails and I only get a responseText in the xhr.

I got around it by using XMLHttpRequest.overrideMimeType() method available in Mozilla browsers.

Hi

I am trying to create an auto complete combobox that fetches data from the DB2 database when theuser focuses on it. I want to make a lazy load of options using dojo.Xhrpost().
I tried the combo box with the store and works fine if I create a datastore at the time of load. But if I create this datastore at the time of focus on the combobox and then get the data using ajax , the options in the combo box are not refreshed. Is there a way around this ?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Why does the following DO work?

var rw = {
           url: "/cgi-bin/glaw.exe/pefi?idenfi=3",
           handleAs: "json",
           timeout: 5000,
           load: function(response, ioArgs) {
                    console.log(response);
                   handleResult(response);
                 },
            error: function(response, ioArgs) {
                      console.log("Error Occured");
                   }
        };

but the following does NOT?

var rw = {
url: "/cgi-bin/glaw.exe/pefi?idenfi="+dojo.byId('buidenfi').value,
