Scripting Help On Ajax Shoutbox

[masugidsk8r 0]

HI, I'm currently working on an AJAX web app. It's a shoutbox. I have here attached the .js file fully documented so it's easy to understand.

Problem: An error message alert occurs in IE 6
Help: I need someone who can fix a code so that the error won't show up in IE.

Note: I've tested it under Firefox and Opera and it works very well.

Here's the code:

Well you get that same error message in IE 7 as well "unsuccessful post, report this" Of course my knowledge of ajax is limited but I would say the problem lies somewhere in here

/**	 * II. Send a shout out to the server and store it in database 	 */		//onSubmit, send `name` and `message` input to server via `SenderAj`		function sendShout_sb () {		var name = document.getElementById("shouter_sb").value;		var message = document.getElementById("shout_sb").value;			SenderAj = new ajaxConn();		SenderAj.serverscript = "ezShout/includes/procedures/sendShout.php";		SenderAj.setValues("name=" + name + ",message=" + message + ",rand=" + Math.random());		SenderAj.connect("isShoutSuccessful_sb", "POST");	}

in the post function and the connection to the database that is storing this shouts, take a look at your php file and see if you happen to forget to add a piece of code inthe php file that is failing to connect the db to the shoutbox.
