Hello Akaballa
Well as long as I understand prototype ajax request you need to add
asynchronous: false, in you ajax request definition.
So try like this:
new Ajax.Request('some url',
{
asynchronous: false,
method:'post',
parameters: {searchString: searchQuery},
onSuccess: function(transport)
{
var str = transport.responseText || no response text;
$('searchResponse').update(str);
},
onFailure: function()
{
alert('Unable to retrieve requested data. Please try again.');
}
});
Let me know if it still creates problem for you.

Well I implemented what you said and debugged my code through firebug
and found out that the request is not sent because of the following
error:
Prototype is not defined
dispatchException()Prototype.js (line 1355)
respondToReadyState()Prototype.js (line 1322)
onStateChange()Prototype.js (line 1249)
bind()Prototype.js (line 214)
[Break on this error] (this.options.onException ||
Prototype.emptyFunction)(this, exception);
i did not make any changes to the prototype.js file. So I have no
idea what the problem is.

I see an error in your code which could have prevented it from working
at all; the ',' (comma) after the onSuccess function definition is
missing (happens to me all to frequently :)) - could that be the issue
or is it a typo?
I'd suggest you to use some kind of debugger for spotting that kind of
issues. Personally, I'm using FireBug for Firefox - it shows if there
were any Javascript errors and lets you inspect AJAX requests easily.
