I have this code working prefect in Firefox, but in IE 7, 8 I am getting “Object doesn’t support this property or method” anyone any ideas ??

It’s failing at the area highlighted in red…

Thanks!

function(str)
{
		if (str=="")
			{
			 document.getElementById("getprev").innerHTML="";
			 return;
			} 
		if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
			{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
			[COLOR="Red"][B] xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();[/B][/COLOR]			}
		else
			{// code for IE6, IE5
			xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
			}
			xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
			{
		if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
			{
											
document.getElementById("getprev").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
			}
			}
		xmlhttp.open("GET","getprev.php?q="+str,true);
			xmlhttp.send();
			},

Hi
Thanks for the reply;

It appears I got it working for the moment.
I’m a newbie to all this so some feed back would be appreciated

How are you calling the function? Because it doesn’t have a name and there’s a comma at the end, it looks like it’s either a method of an object, or passed as an argument to another function. Can you give a little more context (or, even better, a live link)?

I tried the following, and it worked in IE8 and IE8 compatibility:


function test(str) {
	if (str == "") {
		document.getElementById("getprev").innerHTML="";
		return;
	} 
	if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
		xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
	} else {// code for IE6, IE5
		xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
	}
	xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function () {
		if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {
			alert(xmlhttp.responseText);
		}
	}
	xmlhttp.open("GET","test.php?q=" + str,true);
	xmlhttp.send();
}
test("world");



// test.php

echo 'Hello, '.$_GET['q'];
