I need a new set of eyes

Alright working on a site, getting my navigation working....  only thing is it doesn't work...

 

function changeNav(url) {

	var myRand = parseInt(Math.random()*99999999);
	var srcs = url+'&ints='+myRand;
	$('TransMsgDisplay').innerHTML = '<p><img src="templates/site/images/indicator.gif" align="center"></br>Loading Page, Please Wait.</p>';
var myAjax = new Ajax.Request(
srcs,
{
	method: 'get',
	onComplete: processNav
});
}

function processNav(originalRequest) {
var responseTextTrim=trim(originalRequest.responseText);
$('TransMsgDisplay').innerHTML=responseTextTrim;
}

 

that is my ajax-cs.js file.

 

then my php:

 

	case about: ########### BEGINNING OF ABOUT PAGE ############

		$sql = "SELECT aboutTxt FROM about";
		$data = mysql_result(mysql_query($sql), 0);
		$ybd->assign('data', $data);
		$page = 'flat_text.tpl';
	break; ################ END OF ABOUT PAGE ##################

if ($page != "") {
	$content = $ybd->fetch($ybd->$template_dir.'site/'.$page);
	if ($_int == '') {
		$ybd->assign('content', $content);
	} else {
		echo $content;
		return $content;
	}
}

 

then my html to call the link...

 

<a href="index.php?pg=about" class="nav_links" onmouseover="bgchange('nav4');" onmouseout="bghide('nav4');" onclick="changeNav('index.php?pg=about'); return false;">About Us</a>

 

the first part of the ajax works (in that it changes to my indicator.gif image.  but it just gets stuck there..  dont see any errors myself..  when i throw an alert into the processNav i just get an alert of: [object Object] which ive never gotten before.

I got it figured out I guesss...  Still don't know why my trim wasnt working...

 

but basically my var responseTextTrim = trim(originalRequest.responseText); was failing, causing the responseTextTrim to be esentially nothing (so bad that not even an alert comes up for it)..  so i change the next line to $('TransMsgDisplay').innerHTML = originalRequest.responseText; and it works correctly.

 

so guess that's what i'm doing.
