You're missing parentheses.

 

As well as a description of your problem. It's nice to include that so we don't have to guess at what you want.

is my go at using ajax so bare with me as get my head around it.

 

ok im new to world of ajax.

 

iam trying to make a small one on one help chat. if 2 users are in the chat anyone after that gets put into a queue.

when the admin end the chat  i have function which removes the other user from the chat and from queue table in my mysql database.

 

that part works fine.

 

i have a second function running on a javascript timer which updates queue.

so then  i am trying to redirect the user that is next in line depending on the response.

 

if response text == 1 redirect that user into the chat room.
