There is missing a semicolon at the end of the first line in the script <BR>
- var xmlHttp, rateString <p>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. <p>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. <p>Example: <a href="http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-291289.html">http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-291289.html</a> <p>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: <p>var noCacheDate = new Date(); <br>
var url = "http://www.somewhere.com?time=" + noCacheDate.getTime(); <p>Chris
