Hi Yes, I am/was absolutely sure. In my somewhat crude debugging process I'd put a couple of alerts in the function to show me the url and the query string, and they both popped up as expected. >Have you walked through the code with Firebug? That I hadn't done, and in fact I haven't got into using Firebug anything like as much as I should, so thanks for the suggestion because... it's fixed! I set the 'Break on all errors' option and it immediately exposed the gremlin. As so often it was a really stupid little thing: I'd changed a relatively unimportant variable (so unimportant that it was one of the things I removed from the code I posted yesterday!) from local to global, but forgotten to remove the 'var' from where it was originally declared. Doh! There was, as I was pretty certain, nothing at all wrong with the basic structure of what I was doing, but because a reference to that variable, immediately before the Ajax.Request call, came up undefined, the rest of the function was broken. Thanks again - I can press on now. -- Cheers...
