There is missing a semicolon at the end of the first line in the script - var xmlHttp, rateString Regards Jørn

Good Catch. The odd part is that it doesn't cause an issue on IE6, which is why the example shown worked for generating the screenshots.

Mike. Good article. Should you use a more recent version of the XML HTTP Request object? They are faster than older versions, probably have bugs worked out too. Example: http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-291289.html And a browser might cache an AJAX request with the GET method (heck, POST might be cached too technically) so you might want to stick a unique query string onto the end of the URL every time like this: var noCacheDate = new Date(); var url = "http://www.somewhere.com?time=" + noCacheDate.getTime(); Chris
