Runtime Error - Loading File

[lilman]

I am getting a runtime error on I.E. but not on FireFox.  Below is the code:

 

function ajaxLoader(url,id)
{
if (document.getElementById) 
{
	var x = (window.ActiveXObject) ? new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") : new XMLHttpRequest();
}

if (x)
{
	x.onreadystatechange = function()
	{
		if (x.readyState == 4 && x.status == 200)
		{
			el = document.getElementById(id);
			el.innerHTML = x.responseText; // This is the line it says the error is happening on
		}
	}

	x.open("GET", url, true);
	x.send(null);
}
}

			el.innerHTML = x.responseText; // This is the line it says the error is happening on
		}
	}

what is the resonseText?  ie can be finicky about what you try to innerHTML into something.  it can have problems with forms, complex html, and js.  Or are you trying to inject a block level item into an inline item, like innerHTML a div or a ul into a span? You can't do that.
