Capture ReadyState 3

[Nazish]

I m trying to get the responseText for readystate= 3 in internet explorer but it gives me error
"The data necessary to complete this operation is not yet complete" .
I want to get the the string value sent from the server and to process that string futher. code on the Oneventchange handler is

xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
if (xmlHttp.readystate==3)
{
alert(xmlHttp.responseText);
}

Firstly, you should code for every browser, not just IE.

Put your code (not the first line) into an onreadystatechange:

xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() { if (xmlHttp.readyState==3)...

One other thing, it's ready when the ready state is 4, not 3. See how it is done and what the states mean here.

yes i have put it in onreadystatechange event handler but i have to updated data from server continously so dat i need readystate 3

But on readyState 3, it's still in process. What you can do is show the progress if you want.
