title: jquery ajax problem in chrome
body: <p>i have the following jquery code running on my page just fine in FF and IE, but chrome seems to be freaking out..</p>
  
  <p>in FF and IE the call is made and the result is appended to the div.
  in chrome, it calls ajaxfailed on failure.</p>
  
  <p>the XMLHttpRequest passed to the AjaxFailed function has a status code of "200" and the statusText is "ok". the readystate is 4 and the responseText is set to the data i wish to append to the div.. basically from what i can see its calling the failure method but it isn't failing.. i have tried with both get and post requests and it always breaks in chrome. </p>
  
  <pre><code>function getBranchDetails(contactID, branchID) {
    $.ajax({
      type: "GET",
      url: urlToRequestTo,
      data: "{}",
      contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
      dataType: "json",
      success: branchDetailsSuccess,
      error: AjaxFailed
    });
  }
  
  
  
   function branchDetailsSuccess(result) {
        $("#divBranchControl").empty();
        $("#divBranchControl").append(" " + result);
        $("#branchDiv").tabs();
      }
  
  
  
   function AjaxFailed(result) {
        alert("FAILED : " + result.status + ' ' + result.statusText);
      }
  </code></pre>
