Wow - the pinnacle of usefulness. I hope I've said everthing I meant to say, or if not I remember it real soon.

See this post. You only need to edit a post if you've made a mistake (which you should realise by re-reading your response).

If you've just got something to add, there's no harm in posting again.

Nothing, for some reason beyond my comprehension, my html file is not showing up in the dir having restarted apache server. I put the function being called into the html file the calls it and it worked fine. Now even though I have the complete file path of the external file in the include and the form action, the action is not seeing the external file, which is in the same dir.
The html file form1.html is in C:\Databases\we bpages
the javascript file Hi.js is in C:\Databases\ja vascripts

Is it possible for an onclick function to call a a javascript function within an external javascript file without passing any parameters? The script being called is an xmlhttprequest which is getting info from a database query and returning the info. I not sure whether the "object expected" is a parameter or the file containing the script being called by onclick. The external file has been included with a full file path

If you're using Ajax, why are you submitting a form?

You're trying to submit to a js file when in fact you should submit to a script which can deal with the response.

On which line does the error occur? Try checking the Firefox console.
