Problem with Subsequent Calls In a Ajax

[harikumarmpl]

Hi to all

Here i have a problem,

I have a search form in that one which is for searching the usernames in the database
It works fine when i search the UserNames at first time.

When i have changed the UserName in the text box and submits then it is not making a request and fetch the details from the server.
After first request if i have checked with alerts the http_request.re adyStatus=1

For this i am pulling out my hair and googling it and many things i am doing it
can any body help on this please

here i am providing the code for the ajax

 
 function makePOSTRequest(url, divTag, params) {
      var http_request = false;
 
      if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { // Mozilla, Safari,...
         http_request = new XMLHttpRequest();
         if (http_request.overrideMimeType) {
             // set type accordingly to anticipated content type
            //http_request.overrideMimeType('text/xml');
            http_request.overrideMimeType('text/html');
         }
      } else if (window.ActiveXObject) { // IE
         try {
            http_request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
         } catch (e) {
            try {
               http_request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
            } catch (e) {}
         }
      }
       if (!http_request) {
         alert('Cannot create XMLHTTP instance');
         return null;
 
      }
      http_request.open('POST', url, true);
      http_request.onreadystatechange = function(){ var x = alertContents(divTag,http_request)};
 
      http_request.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
      http_request.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);
      http_request.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
      http_request.setRequestHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache");
      http_request.send(params);
   }
 
   function alertContents(divTag,http_request) {
      alert(http_request.readyState);
      if (http_request.readyState == 4) {
          alert(http_request.status);
         if (http_request.status == 200) {
            //alert(http_request.responseText);
            result = http_request.responseText;
            document.getElementById(divTag).innerHTML = result; 
            http_request = false;
         } else {
            alert('There was a problem with the request.');
            http_request = false;
         }
      }
   }
 
 
   function retrieveSearchResults(url,divTag,params){
      alert(url+"\n"+divTag+"\n"+params);
      makePOSTRequest(url,divTag,params);
   }
 
 
 

and here is the code where i am making the call to ajax

<form action="javascript:retrieveSearchResults('searchResults.jsp','myspan','UserName='+escape(document.getElementById('UserName').value));" name="myform" id="myform" >
 <table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="1" border="0" width="40%" align="center">
<tr>
    <td>User Name</td>
    <td><input type="text" name="UserName" size="15"></td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
 
<tr>
    <td>User Course</td>
    <td><input type="text" name="UserCourse" size="15"></td>
    <td></td>
    <td><input type="Reset" value="clear" style="width:50px;"></td>
    <td><input type="submit" name="go" value="go" style="width:50px;"></td>
</tr>
 
 
</table>
</form>
 

In this one i will search for the UserName

Thanks In Advance

Maybe the result is being cached. Have you tested in all browsers?
