I have a big customer who uses IE6 as a platform. The last couple of days I have had my troubles working out why the described methods for doing ajax in WordPress with SACK dosent swing it..

Yes I can make it do Ajax, but having custom returnmessages (a requirement for user interaction) seems to fail on “eval(this.response)”

Yawnn..

While doing a signup for weekly digests, I have now combined various techniques to make
– a fake WordPress page – only vievable when a visitor clicks a mail response link.

– ajax the button for “confirm” or “unsubscribe” and if the clicked link dident return a known record – display form for submitting an email and “signup”
The Ajax were needed to update the database with the new status of the click, and to return a message like “thanks – blablabla..”

This is actually the second time I waste hours trying to understand why SACK dont work, If you stumble upon this, and are trying to figure out how to do AJAX and WordPress, read this brilliant tutorial: http://wpleet.com/wordpress-ajax-jquery-practice-using-shortcode

Im using it slightly differently, but that in essence is the way to do it.
