You can give this code a try, should work in all browsers.
Code:
function ajaxFunction(){
var xmlHttp;
try{
// Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari
xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}catch (e){
// Internet Explorer
try{
xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
}catch (e){
try{
xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}catch (e){
alert("Your browser does not support AJAX!");
return false;
}
}
}
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=function(){
if(xmlHttp.readyState==4){
var responce = xmlHttp.responseText;
}
};
xmlHttp.open("GET","example.php",true);
xmlHttp.send(null);
}
Hope it works,
