 In ajaxmappane.templ, line 2512 the following code is found:
 {{{
 function CreateRequestHandler()
 {
     if(msie)
         return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
     else
         return new XMLHttpRequest();
 }
 }}}
 This does not work in IE 7, where ActiveX is disabled.
 IE 7 has a built in XMLHttpRequest so the specialization does not make
 sense for IE 7.
 Further, the included Sarissa includes a wrapper, so IE 5 & 6 can also use
 a XMLHttpRequest without the special case.
 In short, the above code can be reduced to:
 {{{
 function CreateRequestHandler()
 {
         return new XMLHttpRequest();
 }
 }}}

 I have also tested the most recent sarissa (0.9.9) and it works without
 modification. The current version is 0.9.6.1.
