XMLHttpRequest.Send() not working in mozilla FireFox

[Gurudatt Kumar]

Hi, I am trying to access webservice and fetch information through its webmethod through Javascript. But this is unable to send XML to webservice url in FireFox browser.

Though this is working fine in IE.

<script type="text/javascript">

    var XMLcode = "";

    function loadXMLData() 

    {

 

  if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {

        a = new XMLHttpRequest();      

    }

    else {       

        var a = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

    }   

    a.open("POST", "http://10.10.22.133:5680/PPService.asmx", false);

    a.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");

    a.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "http://www.xyz.com/GetMessage");

    var d = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' +

        +'<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">'

        + '<soap:Body>'

        + '<GetMessage xmlns="http://www.xyz.com/" />'

        + '</soap:Body>'

        + '</soap:Envelope>';

    alert("XML created");

    a.onreadystatechange = handleSendUpdateReponse;

    if (a.readyState == 4) { // readyState, see below

        alert("Ready1");

        container.innerHTML = request.responseText;

    }

    if (a.status == 200) {      

        alert(a.responseText);

        }

        a.send(d);

 XMLcode = a.responseText;

        alert(XMLcode);

}

Can you please suggest the solution of this issue as this generates exception as below:

uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_A VAILABLE) [nsIXMLHttpReque st.status]" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_A VAILABLE)" location: "JS frame :: http://localhost:57157/Users/gkuma3/Desktop/BindList-II.html :: anonymous :: line 52" data: no]



Thanks in advance!

since you use the XMLHttpRequest in sync mode the lines 43 - 57 doesn't make any sense, since you try to do someting with the request-response before the request is even sent.
