Strange AJAX Issue?

[ziycon]

I'm having an issue with my AJAX function, its been working fine then I added another link, and now when i click on an AJAX link on the menu, it tries to load the correct page for a split second and then goes back to the menu page, just can't figure it out!?!It works fine on my local setup but once i moved the new link to the live site its stopped working!???

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
	var loading_img = '/media/images/layout/loading.gif';
	var loading_msg = ' Loading...';
	var xmlhttp_obj = false;//create the XMLHttpRequest
	
	function ewd_xmlhttp()
	{
		if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
		{ // if Mozilla, Safari etc
			xmlhttp_obj = new XMLHttpRequest();
		}
		else if (window.ActiveXObject)
		{ // if IE
			try
			{
				xmlhttp_obj = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
			}
			catch (e)
			{
				try
				{
					xmlhttp_obj = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
				}
				catch (e)
				{

				}
			}
		}
		else
		{
			xmlhttp_obj = false;
		}

		return xmlhttp_obj;
	}   //get content via GET

	function getcontent(url, containerid)
	{
		var xmlhttp_obj = ewd_xmlhttp();
		document.getElementById(containerid).innerHTML = '<img src="' + loading_img + '" />' + loading_msg;
		xmlhttp_obj.onreadystatechange=function()
		{
			loadpage(xmlhttp_obj, containerid);
		}
		xmlhttp_obj.open('GET', url, true);
		xmlhttp_obj.send(null);
	}     

	function loadpage(xmlhttp_obj, containerid)
	{
		if ( xmlhttp_obj.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp_obj.status == 200 )
		{
			document.getElementById(containerid).innerHTML = xmlhttp_obj.responseText;
		}
	}
//]]>
</script>

I've done some investigation into this issue and I've found that the correct page is loaded after the first alert but when i clear the second alert from the screen it goes back to the menu page??

function getcontent(url, containerid)
     {
         var xmlhttp_obj = ewd_xmlhttp();
         document.getElementById(containerid).innerHTML = '<img src="' + loading_img + '" />' + loading_msg;
         xmlhttp_obj.onreadystatechange=function()
         {
             loadpage(xmlhttp_obj, containerid);
         }
         alert(url);
         xmlhttp_obj.open('GET', url, true);
         xmlhttp_obj.send(null);
         alert(url);
     }

Fixed it, i hadn't got the 'return false;' at the end of the link.
