not sure what's wrong

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

var request = false;

try {
request = new XMLHttpRequest;

} catch (trymicrosoft) {

try {

request = new activeXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");

} catch (tryothermicrosoft) {

try {

request = new activeXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

} catch (failed) {
request = false;
}
}
}
if(!request){

  alert("Error intializing XMLHTTP");
  
  }
  
  function addProduct(){
  var item = document.getElementById("item").value;
  var url = "inc.additem.php?item=" + item;
  request.open("GET", url, true);
  request.onreadystatechange = updatePage;
  request.send(null);
  
  }
  
  function updatePage(){
  if(request.readystate == 4){
  document.getElementById("items")innerHTML = request.responseText;
  }
}
  

 

errors reported back:

 

 missing ; before statement
[break on this error] document.getElementById("items")innerHTML = request.responseText;\n

addProduct is not defined
[break on this error] addProduct();

 

I've just started learning AJAX so I'm not the best, but I don't understand how these errors are coming up.

 

Any help would be awesome!
