Hi all, i REALLY need help with this
I'm using a simple AJAX call using XmlHttpRequestObject:
However, eventhough i'm setting the 'asynch' parameter of the 'open' function to 'true', the call is made synchronously!!!

I checked it by using delays in the server, and the browser hangs (all other operations that are after the call to 'send').

the code:
xmlHttpObj.open("POST",url,true);
xmlHttpObj.onreadystatechange = function() { ...}
xmlHttpObj.send(null);

and I'm using IE 7.

How can this be
Help!
Thanks!

Are you running code immediately after the call to send? Try an alert in the next line combined with a long wait in the server-side code. With async as true then the alert should happen immediately, if set to false there should be a delay.

It could be an incorrect POST request :

either

  xmlHttpObj.open("GET",url,true);
  xmlHttpObj.onreadystatechange = function() { ...}
  xmlHttpObj.send(null);

or

  xmlHttpObj.open("POST",url,true);
  xmlHttpObj.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
  xmlHttpObj.onreadystatechange = function() { ...}
  xmlHttpObj.send(something);
