                        combo.add(option); // really old browser
                    }

                });
            },
            error: function (xhr) {
                        alert("Error in GET:" + xhr.responseText);
            }               
        });
    };
    //Get records function end
}) ();

I need to display result to div once POST submitted successfully. It works fine with FireFox. but with Safari, I need to refresh the browser to GET the POSTED data. "getRecords" function used to display data in div. which works fine in all browsers on page load. but it is not working as a part of ajax POST > successful.

$.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: wcfServiceUrl,
                //data: '<Eval xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WcfRestUpdates"><Comments>' + document.getElementById("txtComment").value + '</Comments><Submitter>' + document.getElementById("txtSubmitter").value + '</Submitter></Eval>',
                data: '<Eval xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WcfRestUpdates"><Comments>' + document.getElementById("comment").value + '</Comments><Submitter>' + document.getElementById("submitter").value + '</Submitter></Eval>',
                contentType: "text/xml",
                dataType: "xml",
                success: function (xhr) { getRecords(); },
                error: function (xhr) {
                            if(xhr.status = 200) {                            
                                getRecords();
                            }
                            else{
                                alert("Error while adding record with error-code:" + xhr.status.toString() + "and "+ xhr.responseText);                                                   
                            }
                        }

            });

Improper calling of function "getRecord" in ajax "POST" success. Used "function (xhr) { getRecords(); }" instead of "getRecord" and it works!!
