AJAX Not Working In Firefox

[Danny R]

I have the following javascript which works in either IE or Firefox but
not on both.

When I set the code to

http_request.op en('POST', url, true) - Works in IE only
http_request.op en('GET', url, true) - Works in Firefox only; Does not
refresh in IE.

How do I resolve this?

Thanks in advance.

Guestion why don't u use prototype? pretty easy and it work's in every
browser.

http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptac...show/Prototype

example:
new Ajax.Updater('m ydiv', '/foo/bar', {method:'post',
postBody:'thisv ar=true&thatvar =Howdy', asynchronous:tr ue,
evalScripts:tru e});

evalScripts on the end means that when the ajax page you are calling
contains for example <script>alert(' hello');</scriptit will execute
that the other stuff just echo't will be outputted to mydiv.

i give you this because i stoped using my own crap because this stuff
is alway's working

Hope this helps

another thing...

stuff like this:
document.getEle mentById('ajax-latestphotos'). innerHTML = html_content;

will become this:
$('ajax-latestphotos'). innerHTML=html_ content

Thanks for the response.

However, any of you guys know why this isn't working on both browsers?
Is there an alternative code that works on both?

Danny R напи�ав:

if (return_xml) {
eval(callback_f unction +
'(http_request .responseXML)') ;
} else {
eval(callback_f unction +
'(http_request .responseText)' );
}

You can use http_request.re sponseXML only for appointed content type:

var respType = http_request.ge tResponseHeader ("Content-Type");
if (respType == 'text/xml')
{
// process http_request.re sponseXML
}
else
{
// process http_request.re sponseText
}

Does not refresh in IE.

It may be caused by caching.
Simple solution were posted here

Instead of
var url = '/ub/apps/ajax/latestphotosxml .aspx';
use
var url = '/ub/apps/ajax/latestphotosxml .aspx?'+ Math.random();
