'No element found' error

[C.Joseph Drayton]

Hi All,

I am not sure if this is a JavaScript or PHP error. Basically what
is happening, is that I have an HTML page with the following
JavaScript. As you can see makeRequest() calls a PHP script which is
included below.

When the code is executed, I get the following error in FireFox's
JavaScript console;

It's a Javascript error, probably from your XMLHTTPRequest, and further
probably from the request returning an empty string or something non-XML.

Install a Javascript debugger, such as Firebug [1], which will help you find
what's actually going on.
