    <p>I'm new to Ajax and this has me stumped. It's relatively simple but trips up on the onclick handler with the first xhr.open(). Firebug says it's not a function, my guess is the XMLHttpRequest object isn't being created, but I'm not sure. Anyone have any ideas? </p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <pre><code>function init(){ function getXMLHTTP(){ var xhr = false; if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); } else if (window.ActiveXObject) { xhr = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } return xhr; } function updatePage(theData){ $('results').innerHTML = theData; //TODO: pretty this up with mootools } var xhr = getXMLHTTP(); if (xhr) { xhr.onreadystatechange = function(){ if (xhr.readyState == 4) { if (xhr.status == 200) { var theData = xhr.responseText; updatePage(theData); } else{ alert("Error communicating to web service!"); } } } $('submit_btn').onclick = function(xhr){ if ($('state').value != "") { var theValue = $('state').value; xhr.open("GET", "/inc/calc.php?state="+theValue, true); //Ajax 101: 3rd argument marks object as asynchronous xhr.send(NULL); } else if ($('city').value != "") { xhr.open("GET", "/inc/calc.php?city="+$('city').value, true); xhr.send(NULL); } else if ($('county').value != "") { xhr.open("GET", "/inc/calc.php?county="+$('county').value, true); xhr.send(NULL); } else { //the form is empty, or just down payment is filled. returns whole freakin' table. xhr.open("GET", "/inc/calc.php", true); xhr.send(NULL); } } } </code></pre> <p>}</p>
