Tried this but the problem still persists. The php bit seems to work fine considering that it works in the other browsers. Seems to be that it doesn't understand the response.

Correct - thats why i had you change your PHP. if youre getting a response size of 0 then chances are php isnt outputting anything at all hence my default output of $sourcePage. It may be that thngs are getting mangled going in so that $_POST['source'] doesnt exist. It may be that FF3.5.7 is having trouble with some of your markup or js in someway. Try using empty() instea of isset() an see if there is a difference.

Sorry, i should have been more clear earlier. When i said it can't distinguish the size of the response i meant that it gives a value of '?' as opposed to thinking the file is 0 bytes. I have an else statement that echos 'brokenSource' in the php file so it should always be outputting something. Also, i have tried dataType: text but the problem persists.

Hmmm can you try curl'ing down the page with the same POST vars and then looking at the raw response to see if anything is malformed?

I tried using curl (though it's completely new to me and it's possible i did something wrong) and it seems to return the correct result(prints 'hello') in all browsers (including ff3.5.7)
