problem in using ajax in firefox when asynchronous is false

[JagPeram]

Hi,

I have a problem in running ajax in firefox.
when i give asynchronous as false, the ajax code is not working. but the same code works fine in internet explorer

here is my code:

var url = "<%=request.getContextPath%>/AjaxTest.do";
var req = initRequest();
req.onreadystatechange = function()
{
 if(req.readyState==4)
 {
  if(req.status==200)
  {
   alert("hello");
  }
 }
}
req.open("GET",url,false);
req.send(null);
 

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

If you are using ajax without the a, you don't need the readyStateChange handler, the process will wait until the request returns.

var url= "<%=request.getContextPath%>/AjaxTest.do";
var req= initRequest();
req.open("GET",url,false);
req.send(null);
alert('Status= '+req.status);

Thank You.

I removed the onreadystatechange() method and directly used req.status. it worked well. Thanks for the reply. It really helped me in right time.
