Hi Jason, the way you write it is good even in IE. When write " onComplete: parent_response() ", you launch the function at initialisation time, and the AJAX was not call, so you input is undefined. If you test alert(originalRequest) you should also have undefined.
For your trouble, what is the response text of the AJAX request ?? you should check it too, in case xML was not recognize by IE and set as text. -- david On 16 sep, 23:26, Jason Frisvold <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm running into a problem with IE8 and responseXML.
