XMLHTTPRequest ResponseText is blank?

[Raj Singh-10]

Hi,

For some reason, with the following snippet, I am always getting an
empty string in request.responseText (testing in FF 3.5) - any ideas?

I verified that the URI returns a value - here is a sample URI:
http://www.gamechalk.com/simulator/simulator.php?req=Simulator%20coming%20soon%21%20SMS%20Zork%20to%2041411%20to%20play.&user=100

function postCommand()
        {
                var uri = "http://www.gamechalk.com/simulator/simulator.php";
                var cmd = document.getElementById("command").value;
                var user = "100";
                uri += "?req=" + escape(cmd) + "&user=" + user;

                if (request != null && request.readyState != 0 &&
request.readyState != 4)
                {
                        request.abort();
                }

                try
                {
                        request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
                }
                catch (e)
                {
                        try
                        {
                                request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
                        }
                        catch (E)
                        {
                                request = false;
                        }
                }
                if (!request && typeof XMLHttpRequest != 'undefined')
                {
                        request = new XMLHttpRequest();
                }
                request.open("GET", uri, true);
                request.onreadystatechange = function()
                {
                        if (request.readyState == 4)
                        {
                                alert(request.responseText);
                        }
                };
                request.send(null);
        }

Thanks in advance.

Raj

im havin the same issue though with a much simpler example....

im just trying to open an xml file, and then to read back its contents
using a simple alert box...and the reponseText property within the
parentheses..

alert(xob.responseText);

not getting any data, an empty alert pops up..thats it...

did you have any luck with this?
do lemme know..
