You're right; it's not Google AJAX APIs-related, but we're not as anal as some of the other Google APIs groups :)
Without seeing your page and/or code, it's tough to say what's going on, but I would guess that you're not checking the readyState before alerting the status. Namely, the status will be 200 because the request doesn't know any better. What you need to do is check that xhr.readyState==4&&xhr.status==200 before you do anything else in your onreadystatechange listener. Otherwise, readyState will change a number of times before the request is actually completed, and you'll see your alert each time (assuming you can click fast enough). Jeremy R.
