Thanks for the response Marc. You are correct, the issue is w/ ActiveXObject
failing in Firefox. The offending JavaScript function:
<script language="JavaScript">
function alarmCheck() {
xmlHTTP = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
xmlHTTP.onReadyStateChange = handleResponse;
xmlHTTP.open("GET",
"../Mach/lib/com/alarmCheck.cfc?method=alarmCheck&userID=xx&perspectiveID=xx&offSet=0");
xmlHTTP.send(null);
setTimeout("alarmCheck()", 300000); //300000 = 5 mins; 60000 = 1
min
</script>
I checked the page with HTML validator plugin and i can see the offending
code ( all over the app). Some pages in the app fail in Firefox but it works
fine in IE 6. Does this mean i will be limited to only IE6 :) ?
Thanks
