[gears-users] isServerAvailable() pingSuccess

[meerkat]

I am using the code from the GG web site (http://code.google.com/apis/
gears/gears_faq.html#isOnlineFunction) to check whether the server is
available. In this fragment I am getting the error - "REQUEST IS NOT
LOADING OR DONE"

Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks,
meerkat


function pingSuccess()
  {
    if(request.responseText != "" && request.responseText.indexOf("404
Page not found") == -1)
        {
