xmlHttp not working on apply button but does onmousedown value.

Here is the website.

Start typing with the letter T then select a painting. Works great.

Now, type in the letter T and type out the entire name of one painting and hit apply. missing innerHTML value. I can't find where to or how to assign this value in the JS.

odiv.innerHTML search to find where it is being set.
