AJAX calls not working in new version of Firefox

[Webspeeder]

Is this happening to anyone else? In Safari, IE and previous version of FF all my calls work fine but when I upgrade to the new Firefox, it "hangs". The calls are made, but nothing is returned to the screen.

On POST requests or GET requests? FF 3.0.x fires the onload event instead of onreadystatechange for synchronous POST requests. Just because they can, I guess.

EDIT: Here's some workaround code:

if ((xhr.async == false) && (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Gecko') != -1)) xhr.onload = function() {handleResponse();};
else xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {handleResponse();};

Thanks for the snippet, but where does it go?

In this block:

xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function()
{
if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4 || xmlHttp.readyState == "complete")
{
eval(myFunc2) (xmlHttp.responseXML,thisID,thisTagName);
}
}

I assume the xhr is the xmlHTTP object, right?

Put it wherever you would normally declare the onreadystatechange handler for the XMLHttpRequest object, and use it the same way. The only difference is, you're implementing a cross-browser version.

Correct.

This still isn't working. Here is what I've done.
BEGIN OLD Code
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function()
{
if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4 || xmlHttp.readyState == "complete")
{
eval(myFunc2) (xmlHttp.responseXML,thisID,thisTagName);
}
}
END Old Code
New Code
if ((xmlHttp.async == false) && (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Gecko') != -1))
xmlHttp.onload = function()
{
if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4 || xmlHttp.readyState == "complete")
{
eval(myFunc2) (xmlHttp.responseXML,thisID,thisTagName);
}
}
else
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function()
{
if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4 || xmlHttp.readyState == "complete")
{
eval(myFunc2) (xmlHttp.responseXML,thisID,thisTagName);
}
}
END new Code

I'm missing something but I don't know what....

[Webspeeder]

The responseXML above is responseText....

Okay, I gather your problem has nothing to do with FF using the onload event for synchronous POST requests then. I'll need to see the full context to determine what else is at play here.

[Webspeeder]

Well, that'll teach me to cut and paste. I had two functions, one for XML and one for HTML and the eval() was sending parms for XML call.

I got it working. Thanks for your help....
