FF is realy picky..lol. I have had many problems with it.. Well not so much with Fire Fox but my messy code.

I see that you have placed some alerts throughout the script. That is the best way that I know of to debug.

Have you looked at the javascript console? Is it displaying any errors?

Are you sure that you are calling the sendRequest function correctly..?

If you post a link I will take a look at it with FF and Opera to see if I can find any errors.

Good Luck,
Tom

this is my ajax obj creation function... I have no probs with it so far - works in IE FF Opera - not tested safari yet!

function GetXmlHttpObject(handler)
{
var objXmlHttp=null;

if (window.ActiveXObject)  // ActiveX version
{
try
{
objXmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
objXmlHttp.onreadystatechange=handler;
return objXmlHttp;
}
catch(e)
{
alert("Error. Scripting for ActiveX might be disabled");
return;
}
}
else if (window.XMLHttpRequest)    // Object of the current windows
{
objXmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
objXmlHttp.onload=handler;
objXmlHttp.onerror=handler;
return objXmlHttp;
}
}
