Cant seem to figure out why my getData function is not getting defined.... Please help! This is a .js file so <script></script> tags are not included.


var = xmlobject = false;

if(window.XMLHttpRequest){
xmlobject = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else if(window.ActiveXObject){
xmlobject = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}

/*function displayData(){
var loopCount;
var displayID = document.getElementById('output');

for(loopCount = 0; loopCount < usernames.length; loopCount++){
displayID.usernames[loopCount] = new Option(usernames[loopCount].firstChild.data);
}*/

function getData(whatdata){
var datasource = "search_profiles_now.php?whatdata=" + whatdata;

if(xmlObject){
xmlobject.open("GET", datasource);

xmlobject.onreadystatechange = function()
{
if(xmlobject.readyState == 4){
var xmldoc = xmlobject.responceXML;
usernames = xmldoc.getElementByTagName("username");
displayData();
}
}
xmlobject.send(null);
}
}

Usually when I get that function not found error it has nothing to do with the function itself, but something else above in the code that's wrong. At first I missed it, but I think your problem is your first line of code

var = xmlobject = false;

Don't think you meant to put that first equals sign in there. See if that's causing the problem. As far as I could tell everything else looks fine.

I took out everything above my function and it ran correctly. I just put that var xmlobject inside the if statment and it ran.

Thanks for the idea!
