Firefox & AJAX Junk after document element
I'm having pretty much the exact same problem as the above question, but for different reasons.
To reiterate the problem:
I have some html file:
<style> #hat { color: red; } </style>
<script> var hat = "fez"; </script>
Which I'm retreiving via vanilla ajax call:
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open('GET', target, true);
request.onload = function() {
if (request.status >= 200 && request.status < 400) {
// Success!
var response = request.responseText;
} else {
// We reached our target server, but it returned an error
}
};
request.onerror = function() {
// There was a connection error of some sort
};
request.send();
That is throwing an error in console:

I don't want the html file parsed at all. I've tried searching for a non XML HttpRequest method, but JQuery is all I can find on the subject. Perhaps there is something like a TextHttpRequest that just retrieves text without parsing it? Or maybe there's a way to tell an XMLHttpRequest that parsing is unnecessary?
This all seems like it should be pretty obvious, but I just keep finding tutorials on ajax that use jquery.
