Ajax code not working in Firefox

Question

Hi,

The following AJAX code seems to be working fine in IE but not in Firefox. I guess the problem is in the function getElementsByTagName(). I have no idea as to how to solve this problem.

Answer 1

Without testing, I think the issue is innerHTML. Try:

function disp(msgXML)
{
    var messsage = msgXML.getElementsByTagName("name")[0].textContent;
    document.getElementById("message").textContent = messsage;
}

EDIT: As Tom noted, the innerHTML you did will work. It was the .text that was invalid. Still, innerHTML should be avoided when possible.

Answer 2

Shouldn´t var req = newXMLHttpRequest(); in work.js be var req = new newXMLHttpRequest();?

and you should change the var messsage = msgXML.getElementsByTagName("name")[0].text; to var messsage = msgXML.getElementsByTagName("name")[0];. I don´t think that text nodes have the innerHTML property.
