There is nothing there to put the results into input's value. It only puts it into the DIV that you specified, 'names'.
I'd say that you should add to the code, after calling the xmlhttpRequest function, that puts it into the DIV:
;this.value=nam es.innerHTML

You didn't post the source code for ajax.js. In the meanwhile, did you try it in different browsers? Try also not having it in a table. Also, how's about giving the input an id and using that instead of this.value. I've found that the 'this' keyword can make trouble sometimes in some browsers. Good luck.

My IIS was working fine until one day, when it would send back a blank page in response to a form submitted using POST method. Funny thing is that the ASP code does seem to get processed. This error happens even when my asp page has only html in it. This has nothing to do with faulty code. I changed the file limit, although I wasn't sending anything large in the first place.
I am running IIS 5.1 on XP SP2.
Any desperately needed would...
