MyHttpRequest.open("POST", file, true) NOT WORKING

[limitphp]

Its loading the correct page in the correct target_div, but the form data is not being sent.  Can someone help me?

 

Here's my code:

<form name='frmInbox$messageID' method='post' action='myaccount_ajx_inbox_reply.php' onsubmit='return false'>
<input type='hidden' name='to_userID' value='$to_userID'>
<textarea NAME='message' style='overflow-x: hidden; display: block;' cols='65' rows='10'></textarea>
</textarea>
<input type='submit' value='Submit' onclick='check_message($messageID)'>
</form>	

 

here's check_message():

function check_message(messageID){
ajx_post('message'+messageID, 'myaccount_ajx_inbox_reply.php', '');

}

 

here's my ajx function:

function ajx_post(target_div, file, params)
{
var MyHttpRequest = false;
if (target_div.indexOf("voteCount")>=0)
var MyHttpLoading = '';
else
var MyHttpLoading = '<p>Loading...</p>'; // or use an animated gif instead: var MyHttpLoading = '<img src="loading.gif" border="0" alt="running" />';

var ErrorMSG = 'Sorry - No XMLHTTP support in your browser, try firefox or internet explorer instead.';

if(window.XMLHttpRequest) // client use Firefox, Opera etc - Non Microsoft product
{
try
{
	MyHttpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
catch(e)
{
	MyHttpRequest = false;
}
}
else if(window.ActiveXObject) // client use Internet Explorer
{
try
{
	MyHttpRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
}
catch(e)
{
	try
	{
	MyHttpRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
	}
	catch(e)
	{
	MyHttpRequest = false;
	}
}
}
else
{
MyHttpRequest = false;
}

if(MyHttpRequest) // browser supports httprequest
{
var random = Math.random() * Date.parse(new Date()); // make a random string to prevent caching
var query_string = url_encode('?rand=' + random + params);

MyHttpRequest.open("POST", file, true); // <-- run the httprequest using GET
//Send the proper header information along with the request
MyHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
MyHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-length", query_string.length);
MyHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");

// handle the httprequest
MyHttpRequest.onreadystatechange = function ()
{
	if(MyHttpRequest.readyState == 4) // done and responded
	{
		document.getElementById(target_div).innerHTML = MyHttpRequest.responseText; // display result
	}
	else
	{
		document.getElementById(target_div).innerHTML = MyHttpLoading; // still working
	}
}
MyHttpRequest.send(query_string);
}
else
{
document.getElementById(target_div).innerHTML = ErrorMSG; // the browser was unable to create a httprequest
}
}

AH HA!!!!!

 

You have to put the value of everything you are posting in the httprequest.send()

 

well...that sort of defeats the purpose of the POST method.....

if you stick a & it messes up the value...and doesn't show up.
