Hi,
I'm new to prototype and am having a problem with Ajax.Request. I find
that it basically just loops round and round and round forever, and
never finishes.

// uses ajax to attempt to connect to a database. Inserts either yes
or no into error div
function form_db(server, username, password, name)
{
  //alert('hi');
  new Ajax.Request('ajax_handler.php',
  {
    method:'get',
    onSuccess: function(transport){
      var response = transport.responseText || "no response text";
      alert("Success! \n\n" + response);
    },
    onFailure: function(){ alert('Something went wrong...') }
  });

}

This just constantly alerts "success + " the correct response from
php, but it alerts again and again and again and never stops! If I
comment out the prototype code and uncomment alert('hi'), that only
alerts once so it must be a problem with the prototype usage. Could
someone explain to me how to get it to just do one request then
finish?

Thanks,
Simon
