If your not using a javascript framework like jquery or prototype then you will have to create a XMLHttpRequest object yourself which the javascript framework would normally wrap up. Something like the following:

function GetHttpObject() 
{
    if (typeof XMLHttpRequest != 'undefined')
        return new XMLHttpRequest();

    try 
    {
        return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
    } 
    catch (e) 
    {
        try 
        {
            return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
        } 
        catch (e) {}
    }

    return false;
}
