Turns out that xmlhttp.onreadystatechange is *write-only* in IE6, so attempting to read it was causing the code to barf. (Probably ok in other browsers but this particular work is in an IE6-only intranet)
Is there any other way to set up a custom handler for the onreadystatechange event? Would there be any harm in overwriting JQuery's onreadystatechange handler with my own and going from there?
