Strange behaviour of respond_to in IE

In recent days i have monitored a very strange behaviour of respond_to in IE.I am sharing my experience in hope that somebody might explain it to me. As i cudnt find anything related to this from my best teacher google

I am using edge rails in one of my projects. some where in that i have used respond_to in following way…


def show
respond_to |format| do
format.js {render :partial=>'show'}
format.html {}
end
end


When i checked the response in firefox for html and xml both requests type, it was perfect. But when i checked html response in IE 6 creates a blunder :O.It was returning a js file with the javascript response.

But when i changed the code and placed the html call first and then checked xml call it worked fine in IE too.

def show
respond_to |format| do
format.html {}
format.js {render :partial=>'show'}
end
end


Now can somebody tell me why is this happening and anyone else faced this issue ever?
