I am wanting to send private messages via AJAX but the script will not echo a response via AJAX in IE6 or IE7???? Below is code, what am I doing wrong?? A link opens a form in MoodalBox, then should post the result to private.php.

Code:

I've found that IE is extremely picky about Javascript. When you run the script in IE and IE doesn't like it, you should see a yellow warning sign in the bottom right corner. Click this to find the error.

Thanks for the tip. Here's the result so far...

I have a separte .php page that works. It will look for when you click the submit button and send the result via Ajax. Works in FF3 and IE7.

Tried to integrate this into the member.php page. I want to have the user click a link or graphic and pass two variables to the form (hidden fields such as who the message is going to) and also add the security token as a hidden field on the form. This works successfully. However, when I try integrating the two together, I can't save the form results via Ajax. The security token is missing! What's weird as well is in my stand alone .php script, I don't need to pass a queryString to the YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest in the fourth variable, but it seems I do when I integrate within a js function.

Here's what I have from a bird's eye view:

Example 1:
sample_yui_ajax.php
1. First shows the HTML form on the page with static values placed in the appropriate values of the form to test sending (security token, my user id and username, username of who i want to send the test message to via ajax).
2. JS declares an object AjaxObject for all the ajax functionality.
3. After the AjaxObject declaration, calls YAHOO.util.Event.addListener(window, 'load', AjaxObject.init); which will wait for the user to click the submit button and send the result.

Example 2:
member.php
1. Link on the page next to a user name will call a js function and pass 2 variables.
2. Via ajax, passes 2 variables and retrieves the username, current security token, etc to put values into the private message form.
3. Creates the form and echoes the html for the form.
4. The function adds the form to a div.
5. When the listener looks for the user to submit the form, I get a message that the security token is missing.

I've narrowed it down to the listener. Any suggestions?

Code below:

Code:

<body>

Need to integrate into the below:

  var queryString = "?ajax=true&catid=" + catid + "&touserid=" + touserid;

Did you check IE's error?
