Hi I'm trying to output a response which is xml but its only displaying in the alert box and not in the div and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong any idea's

var request;
function callback() {
   if (request.readyState == 4) {
	 try {
	   if (request.status != 200) {
		   alert('error');
	   } else {
		  // ok, process...
          document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML= request.responseText;
          alert("got data: "+request.responseText);
	   }
	 } catch(e) {
		 alert('error');
	 }
   }
}
function test_get() {
  request = new CrossXHR();
  request.onreadystatechange = callback;
  request.open('GET', 'http://www.gamerservices.co.uk/jackpot_obs_xml.xml');
  request.send();
}

Programs only do what you tell them to do. Your calling the alert method.

yeah I'm trying to output to div I have set up

document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML= request.responseText;

Alert the result of document.getElementById("myDiv") first, to see if you get what you expect. Then alert the .innerHTML property.

I just get the hardcoded text
got data:
outputting in my div and not the response
request.responseText
which appears ok in the alert box
