Object doesn't support this property or method (IE), fine with FF

[3l3ctr1c]

I get this problem when I run my little piece of code

Here is the source :

<div id="submenu">
<div id="texr">
<h2>Tenders</h2>
<!-- AJAX -->
 
<a onclick="javascript:fetchcontent('test.txt', 'fetch');">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Boiler</a><br /><br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Turbine
</div>
</div>
<div id="fetch">
</div>

The Javascript :

function fetchcontent(url, div_id){
var page_r = false
loading = document.getElementById('loading');
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// Mozilla, Safari etc
page_r = new XMLHttpRequest()
} else if (window.ActiveXObject){ // pero si es IE
try {
page_r = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
} 
catch (e){ 
try{
page_r = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
}
catch (e){}
}
}
else
return false
page_r.open('GET', url, true) 
page_r.onreadystatechange=function(){ 
printc(page_r, div_id)
}
 
page_r.send(null)
 
}
 
function printc(page_r, div_id){
if (page_r.readyState == 4 && (page_r.status==200 || window.location.href.indexOf("http")==-1)){
document.getElementById(div_id).innerHTML=page_r.responseText;
}
}
 

Please help me!

Welcome to TSDN.

On which line do you get this error? Perhaps you may need the href attribute of the A tag?

Hello!

I tried adding the href attribute, but it still generates the same error.

Error at = Line#4, Char#1 - Error - Object doesn't support this property or method

I just removed the "loading = document.getElementById('loading');" in line #3 and it worked.
