On occasion I have run into a strange problem, both with the RSS JavaScript widget downloadable from aleph-null.tv and with the code I wrote for Drupal 6 JavaScript and jQuery: Under certain conditions, the script simply does not work on IE 6, and IE 7. Firefox, Safari, and such don't seem to have this problem at all.

After a whole lot of digging, I found the problem, and devised a solution that will work out of the box with Apache (and with a little tweaking, it should work with other webservers, too).
