I've been playing around trying to find it with something like this in my js function.
try { alert(request.responseText); } catch(err) { alert (err.toString()); } but both the request and response objects are undefined (don't exist). By trial and error I found there's an "Ajax" object and an "XMLHttpRequest" object defined in the scope, but I can't get any responseText out of them. I think the answer lies in the prototype library, as that's where these callback functions are defined, but I can't quite figure it out from perusing the docs. Anyway, thanks, I'll post back if I figure it out! (I think I'll post another topic with this specific question in it) On Oct 2, 9:12 pm, "David C.
