<div dir="ltr">Do you have a sample page up? It's possible that the specific input may cause this effect.
<br clear="all">--John

Not something I can replicate at the moment (no access to an ASP.NET
site currently), but it is the result of when an exception occurs and
isn't handled.
Sample page (i.e. test.aspx), save and run on ASP.NET capable server
(that hasn't got friendly error messages enabled).
<%@ Page Language="C#"%>
<script runat="server">
public void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int canCauseException = int.Parse(null);
}
</script>

Could you save the output as an HTML file? And then make another file
that tries to load it? That might be able to point us in the right
direction, at least.

Only just managed to get around to creating a test case:
http://www.texotela.co.uk/ajaxerror.php
HTML is sent as text/html, but no DOCTYPE .

If I had to guess as to what the problem was, I'd say it's the two extra HTML comments dangling off the end of the document (!?). Thus jQuery is probably trying to find elements within the comments, which doesn't work. Unfortunately I don't think it's possible to put this through an XML parser, either, since I don't think you can have comments outside of the root element (correct me if I'm wrong here).
