Hi Eric, Have you considered using a Javascript Library to handle these details? I would recommend that you refactor your code to use one so that you can concentrate on what you actually want to do instead. This way you can also avoid having browser incompatabilities that are already solved if you

You're using IE, which means you need to issue the open() before adding the onreadystatechange handler. Otherwise, open will trigger a call to your handler, and IE's implementation won't have reset the readyState to 0. In either event, you should double-check that the status of the request is 200

Why doesn't my httpRequest Javascript function return unless I add an alert? Grrr. I am writing my first AJAX-y function called add_tag. This is how it is suppose to work: 1. define a username 2. create an httpRequest object 3. define what it is suppose to happen when it gets a response

To point out why the use of a Javascript framework is important, let me put your code into jQuery (http://jquery.com) $.get('index.cgi', {cmd:'add_tag', username:'username'}, function(html) { // do whatever you want here }) PrototypeJS has a similar, easy to use construct. In the end, using any

These days I think jquery seems more generally popular than prototype. But both are options. I definitely would use one or the other, instead of doing it myself from scratch. They take care of a lot of weird cross-browser-compatibility stuff, among other conveniences. Jonathan Jesse Prabawa wrot

Don't leave out the Yahoo YUI library as something to consider. Whats nice is that you don't have to load the entire library as one big huge js file - you can pick and choose what libraries you want to include in your page minimizing the javascript filesize. If you want to have one little js w

I'd highly recommend getting a good clear handle on the underlying javascript workings before moving to a library like jQuery (which I am quite fond of) especially when using XMLHTTPRequest. If you don't, mysterious problems may arise that are all the more difficult to debug since you have the li

Indeed, my proposed fix was incorrect -- an alert does NOT need to be passed into the function as a callback (it's always globally available) and since the parameter for the alert is response text, that's A-OK. If you want to insert that response into the page (and not just 'alert' it), you WOULD
