innerHTML works in IE and Firefox, but not Chrome

Question

The data will not display in Chrome, unless i open an IE tab in Chrome go to the site then close it back to Chrome (sorry, if that doesn\'t make much sense).

Answer 1

I think you want to use:

request.onreadystatechange = function() {

instead of:

request.onload = function() {

And change the way you check the return value.

See the asynchronous request code example here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/XMLHttpRequest/Using_XMLHttpRequest for more details.
