Opera 9.2.6 AJAX requiring authentication

[mikeg]

I am using $.ajax to submit several forms on a page - some go to php files and others go to java files. All the forms work great in FireFox? and IE. In Opera I am receiving a login dialog box asking for user name and password when working with Java files in the background. We tried the straight javascript non-jQuery AJAX call and did not receive the dialog. Any thoughts on why Opera is showing this dialog when using jQuery?

I am seeing this on our live server where jquery 1.2.2 is installed and on a deveopment server where 1.2.3 is installed with a piece of the 1.1 compatibility plugin.

This is because jQuery sends null username and password to the XMLHttpRequest and this triggers a bug(?) in Opera. See bug 2865.
