Hi

I am trying to do compatibility between IE and Firefox. For the below Javascript it is working fine in the IE but I am not able to get the solution in the Firefox..

function ClientHTTPRequest(sRequestXML)
{
    var oXMLHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    var oError;
    // Put Tha System Wrapper Around
        sRequestXML = '<vinkit>' + sRequestXML;
        sRequestXML = sRequestXML + '</vinkit>';
    // Make A Call To The Server Page For The Request
        oXMLHttp.Open("POST","../VinKit-Common/RequestDB.aspx",false);

        oXMLHttp.Send(sRequestXML);
    // Now Return The Result DOM

        return oXMLHttp.responseXML;



}

If anyone has done this crss browser comptability can you provide with a solution.

Thanks in advance

You have to do a test like this:

var oXMLHttp;
if(window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
   //Mozilla
   oXMLHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else if(window.ActiveXObject)
{
    oXMLHttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
}

hth.

I suggest you get zXml from Nicholas C. Zakas' site. Then either use the library directly or examine how the code their creates a cross-broswer XMLHttpRequest wrapper. Search for zXmlHttp.createRequest.

Thanks for both of you I really appreciate your time on this.

I changed my script as below , but still I get /* oXMLHttp.Open is not a function*/ error when I try to open the page.

function ClientHTTPRequest(sRequestXML)
{
var oError;

if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
var oXMLHttp =new XMLHttpRequest();
oXMLHttp.Open("GET","sRequestXML",true);
oXMLHttp.onreadystatechange = function ()
{
if (oXMLHttp.readyState == 4 && oXMLHttp.status == 200)
{if (oXMLHttp.responseXML == null) {
            // Failed; didn't load data into DOM object
            return;
                            }
        // Success
        oXMLHttp.responseXML;

 }

else if (window.ActiveXObject)
{ var aVersions = [ "Microsoft.XMLHTTP"];
   for (var i = 0; i < aVersions.length; i++)
     {
          try {
                var oXMLHttp = new ActiveXObject(aVersions[i]);
                   // Put Tha System Wrapper Around
            sRequestXML = '<vinkit>' + sRequestXML;
            sRequestXML = sRequestXML + '</vinkit>';
        // Make A Call To The Server Page For The Request
            oXMLHttp.Open("POST","../VinKit-Common/RequestDB.aspx",false);
            oXMLHttp.Send(sRequestXML);
        // Now Return The Result DOM
        return oXMLHttp.responseXML;
                  }
     catch (oError)
     {
                //Do nothing
                   }
             }
  }
}

I am not sure of the error because this is the page I awant to access during the request.. Is there anything I should not pass the aspx page??

Please let me know.. Thanks in advance..

There must be something you're not showing, opening the page doesn't even start the ClientHTTPRequest function. Which line is flagged as the error?

Hey Joe

Actually I am updating our application to Mozilla so in my appllication when I try to open a page which consists this jscript code I AM GETTING THE ERROR.

The error throws at the line

oXMLHttp.Open is not a function
oXMLHttp.Open("GET",url,true);
Thanks again!
