responseText returns no value in IE

Hi,

I'm currently working on a multiplayer javascript game, and everything works great. You can move around, chat, etc, but when played using Internet Explorer, responseText is always blank. It doesn't receive a single response from the server for some reason.

 

Here's my code:

 

function login(xmlCon) {
xmlCon.onreadystatechange=function()
{
	if(xmlCon.readyState==4)
	{
		var res=xmlCon.responseText;
		var msg = res.split("|");
		plrx = msg[2];
		plry = msg[3];
	}
}
xmlCon.open("GET","scripts/conHandler.php?a=login,true);
xmlCon.send(null);
}

 

I call login and pass an XMLHttpRequest object to it, it contacts the server to login and the server responds with a set of numbers seperated by the "|" character, such as "1|43|243". Everything works fine in all browsers but IE, in which responseText is blank.

 

Anyone got any idea why? 

 

Thanks.

xmlCon.open("GET","scripts/conHandler.php?a=login,true);

 

 

Could be that you're missing the closing quote:

 

xmlCon.open("GET","scripts/conHandler.php?a=login",true);

Sorry for the late response. My actual code has the quote, I just edited it a bit for my post and accidentally forgot to add that ending quote...

 

The only edit I did was remove a variable from the url. I think it was "&id="+plrID

Alright, I found the problem.

 

I was using a function that created an xml request object and returned it, so like "var xmlObject = createXMLRequest();" and then I would call my login function as "login(xmlObject);" which worked find in FireFox, Chrome, Opera, etc, however did NOT in IE. I changed it so now my login function creates it's own object within itself, rather than using one that it is called with and that works fine across all browsers. Which sucks, because I liked the idea I had before...Stupid IE >.>...
