ajax.js from Book example

I have the book Build Your Own Ajax Web Applications

I have tried making the default Ajax class file (which I named main.js)
and I get no output and no errors

I am not sure where I went wrong

I tested with IE6 and Firefox latest.
Here is the code:
http://sial.org/pbot/19704

fakeserver.php gives me the expected output when visited directly

here is my index.html:

Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
 <head>
   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
       content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
   <title>A Simple AJAX Test</title>
   <script type="text/javascript" src="js/main.js"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript">
var hand = function(str) {
   alert(str);
 }
 var ajax = new Ajax();
 ajax.doGet('/fakeserver.php', hand, 'text'); 
   </script>
 </head>
 <body>
 </body>
</html>

Code:

 this.mimeType = null;
}

this.init = function() {

It appears that you prematurely cuttoff the Ajax declaration. That brace before this.init needs to go allll the way down at the bottom. Also, use the Javascript Console in Firefox to spot errors that may have occured.
