Several similar issues have been raised around this issue but none seems to come close enough like post 'Internet Explorer 9 not posting AJAX post request' (Internet Explorer 9 not posting AJAX post request), unfortunately, there was no resolution provided (that worked).
Are there specific 'type' and/or 'dataType' that is required for jQuery Ajax on IE? I would rather use a POST than GET, my dataType is text (not json), and my data is a serialized form (all just like in the referenced post); I need to know if there's anyway this could possibly work on IE(9) - it works effortlessly in Chrome. Thanks in advance.
