title: Ajax calls do not work in IE unless you fiddle with security settings
body: <p>IE sucks, at times. Until IE 10, IE did not provide support for the XMLHttpRequest Object. Rather, you must use the XActiveXObject Object for running AJAX calls. JQuery boots up this object by default and maintains it throughout a ternary function if it is present (which is all the time, essentially, should your browser be IE).</p>
  
  <p>But, you can see the problem already. In order to use this ActiveX Object, you must fiddle with the security settings in IE in order to allow scriplets, unsigned ActiveX schtuff, and the like.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to bypass these security settings (like installing a CAB file to sign the bloody thing) so that end users do not have to fiddle with their browser settings and everything will work out of the box?</p>
