Opera 9.10 works fine with Prototype's Ajax.Request. However, in your code it looks like you are checking for responseText inside the onFailure function. Since that function is only called on failure, I wouldn't expect there to be any responseText. I could be wrong since honestly I never use the onFailure function... :-o It sounds like maybe what you want to use are functions for specific failure codes, like on404, etc..
If you are still having problems, I'd check two things: 1) The server is getting the request you think it's getting and the browser is getting the response you think it's getting. Perhaps use a tool like SoftX HTTP Debugger (http://www.softx.org/debugger.html) to inspect the request and response outside the scope of the browser. 2) The code executed on response isn't throwing an exception. The onXXX functions will often give no indication if there is an error in the code that halts execution. Use some code like this to capture those exceptions: function getExceptionDetails(ex){ var message = '<b>'+ex.name+':</b><pre>'+ex.message+'</pre><br/>'+ (ex.fileName && ex.lineNumber ? ex.fileName+' (line <b>'+ex.lineNumber+'</b>)<br/><br/>':'')+ (ex.description ? 'Description:<pre>'+ex.description+'</pre><br/>':'')+ (ex.stack ? 'Stack trace: <pre>'+ex.stack+'</pre><br/>':'')+ (ex.number ? 'Number: '+ex.number+'<br/>':'')+ (ex['opera#sourceloc'] ? 'Location: <b>'+ex['opera#sourceloc']+'</b><br/>':''); return message; } Ajax.Responders.register({ onException: function(request,ex){ new Insertion.Bottom('debug','<hr/><br/>'+getExceptionDetails(ex)+'<br/><br/>'); } }); Colin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I have some really simple ajax code that makes a post and then reads > the result.
