Ajax and IE problem

[FALCONSEYE]

I am trying to write the response from another page with :

document.getElementById("appMessage").innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText;

This works perfectly fine with FireFox, however IE 7 throws an error saying :
Unknown Runtime Error.

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
thanks

hmmm, i just realized something. the returning xmlHttp.responseText has a form in it. if i remove the form tag IE7 displays it correctly, if i keep it there it returns unknown runtime error. what to do?

When you say it has a form, you mean it has a <form> tag, correct?

This should not cause the error that you're experiencing. I've written multiple ajax routines that return HTML to a page containing <form> tags.

yup, it has a form tag. the funny thing is when i removed the form tag, it runs just fine. do you have an example that i can look at?

Nothing that is available on the internet - it's all on our local network.

Try running your ajax routine in a seperate browser window. Copy the url that is passed to the ajax routine and paste it into the browser's address bar. See if you still get an error that way. If so, that likely means that this isn't really a javascript problem - it would probably be something server-side.
