  Old  AJAX limitation on local machine

Hey guys I'm running a script that is just sitting on my desktop.

Code:
function getfile(filename)
{
  	xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
	xmlhttp.open("GET",filename,false);
	xmlhttp.send();
	
	return xmlhttp.responseText;
}
this works in firefox but not chrome or IE

if I try and create a callback function ala

Code:
function getfile(filename)
{
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
  {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
    {
    responsetext = xmlhttp.responseText;
    }
  }
xmlhttp.open("GET",filename,true);
xmlhttp.send();

return responsetext;
}
it doesn't work in any of them

thoughts?

Use jQuery, it is easier to work with and works on all browsers. jQuery is well documented, you can go to http://jquery.com/ to see it.

Thanks for the recommendation I checked it out, very nice. Since this script is only going to ran on firefox though (it uses iMacros) It's not a big deal I guess. I'm also using XPCOM to write files so thats another firefox specific thing.

thanks again for the link
