One of three things is happening:
1. You forgot the <script src="MochiKit/MochiKit.js"></script> for MochiKit
2. You are using JSAN but not JSAN.use('MochiKit', ':common')
3. You are using Dojo Toolkit
When using JSAN (without ':common') or Dojo, MochiKit doesn't export
symbols. You'd have to use MochiKit.DOM.replaceChildNodes,
MochiKit.Async.loadJSONDoc, etc.

Clearly you shouldn't be calling replaceChildNodes with null as the first
parameter... that needs to be the id of an element as a string, or a
reference to an element. However, there's three things about your
implementation of requestPageList that are off:
- Calling "new Array()" is silly, arrays have syntax.
- You should ALWAYS declare your local variables, default scope is global.
If you don't, you can't safely call a function from another function
because they might clobber each other's variables!
- MochiKit.DOM accepts DOM elements, not raw markup. If you want to set
the innerHTML on something, you should just do it that way.
function requestPageList() {
if (false) {
var d = loadJSONDoc("...");
} else {
var d = succeed([P(null, "It worked!!")]);
}
d.addCallback(showPageList);
}
