Hi guys,

I am using a form\_remote\_tag to update a page. It works great with  
firefox but is unpredictable with IE6 (sometimes it shows up, sometimes  
it doesnt). I’m doing the rjs update with a partial and after playing  
around with it I’ve come to realise that as long as there are html tags  
inside the partial then IE6 becomes unpredictable. Has anyone else  
experienced this, or have ways around it? Or perhaps I’m missing  
something?

Thanks.

IE’s version of DOM is very spotty. For example their tables are not  
standard and do not allow replacement of any part using innerHtml. It  
also has problems in other areas. It is not just you.
