onReadyStatechange not being called

I am usinng the following code to send an email
The code works fine in IE but in Mozilla the function readyStateChanged doesnt get a call back, therefore the user doesnt get the message box saying that his message is sent..
I placed an alert as a first line in that function, It gets called properly in IE but not in Mozilla... any ideas,
Thanks,
Ahmed

Code:

---

var xhReq;
 function createXMLHttpRequest() {
  try { return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) {}
  try { return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) {}
  try { return new XMLHttpRequest(); } catch(e) {}
  alert("XMLHttpRequest not supported");
  return null;
 }

function readyStateChanged() {
//alert("RS called with state:"+xhReq.readyState);

 

    if (xhReq.readyState != 4)  { return; }
 
    if (xhReq.status != 200)  {
                alert("Ooops, I was unable to send your message \nIs your internet properly working???");
            return;
    }
    var serverResponse = xhReq.responseText;
       
        alert("Cool! Your message Is gone into my inbox, I will look it as soon as possible");



  };

function sendMail(form)
{
 

 xhReq = createXMLHttpRequest();
try {
 
 
xhReq.open("GET", "http://www.blabla.com/mailproxy.php?comments="+form.comments.value+"&realname="+form.name.value+"&email="+form.email.value, false);


} catch (e) {
alert("Problem occured sending your message..:");

}

 
 xhReq.onreadystatechange = readyStateChanged;
 xhReq.send(null);
}

It probably isn't working because of the createXMLHttpRequest() function. Try...

Code:

---

function createXMLHttpRequest(){
  var xmlHTTP;
  try{xmlHTTP = new XMLHttpRequest();}
  catch(e){
    try{xmlHTTP = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");}
    catch(e){
      try{xmlHTTP = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");}
      catch(e){
        alert("Your browser does not support AJAX!");
        return false;
      }
    }
  }
  return xmlHTTP;
}

Your code could use some clean up. Check out my AJAX object for more help.

I tried this but same result for Mozilla firefox.

Use my AJAX object instead. I use it with 5+ browsers.

I've used your script.
I figured out the problem ,
I was using synchonous call to open.
but why should synchronous call not let state change call backs in Mozilla but in IE .!!!
seems funny..
I was using synchronous call to avoid user to press the message send button again and again...
Now i am using asynchrnous call and asking the user to wait through UI.

Mine is also set to do synchronous...unless you changed it.

Yours is set to asynchronous, and thst how i figured out prolem in my code..

XMLHttpRequest.open(sMethod, sUrl [, bAsync] [, sUser] [, sPassword])
you've passed true, isnt it ;) or did i get code from wrong place ?!

I got code from your website, this ciode.

Ha. I forgot that I changed that on the website. I used to have it set to synchronous.

Thanks alot for the help ;)

You're most welcome! Good luck. :wave:
