jQuery Ajax form submisssion doesnt work in IE

Reported by sinanduman on the Google issues board and moved here.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

// prepare the form when the DOM is ready
$(document).ready(function() {
    var options = {
        target:        '#output',   // target element(s) to be updated
with server response
        // beforeSubmit:  showRequest  // pre-submit callback
        success:       selectBox  // post-submit callback
    };
    // bind to the form's submit event
    $('#converter').submit(function() {
        // inside event callbacks 'this' is the DOM element so we first
        // wrap it in a jQuery object and then invoke ajaxSubmit
        $(this).ajaxSubmit(options);
        // !!! Important !!!
        // always return false to prevent standard browser submit and page
navigation
        return false;
    });
});
// post-submit callback
function selectBox(responseText)  {
	document.converter.output.value=responseText;
	document.converter.output.focus();
	document.converter.output.select();
}

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It is OK in Opera and FF but not IE. It is expected that responseText would be in #output text box.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? jQuery last version, 1.1.3.1, Internet Explorer 7, Windows Vista Home Basic Edition

Please provide any additional information below. I am using jQuery with jQuery Form plug-in. Delete comment Comment 1 by fspiesser, Dec 21, 2007 Same problem with version 1.2.1 (IE7, XP Pro). Works well in 1.1.2
