Hi all,

I have a form that wrongly trigger the rjs respond to with ie7. The  
html repond\_to is correctly used in both FF 3 and Google Chrome. I use  
the standard form\_for helper and have no idea what could cause this  
issue.

I have pased the ie 7 html (left some stuff out)

All help is greatly appreciated.  
Stijn

```
<input id="event[statistic_attributes][goals_id][]"

```

name=“event[statistic\_attributes][goals\_id][]” type=“hidden”  
value=“10” /\>

Take a look at what is sent over the wire. I have a vague recollection  
of someone writing something about IE sending a dodgy Accept header.
