Thank you very much for this code. It’s so clear. I saw some ajax code, but they’re not as good as this. And the explaination is excellent. Thanks again.

there is a minor mistake in the “XMLHttpRequest and ActiveXObject ” part of the tutorial.

you used (in the for loop):

# xhr = new ActiveXObject(versions[i]);
# break;

which will break the for loop after the first iteration, no questions asked. Instead the whole for loop should have been written like:

# for(var i = 0, len = versions.length; i < len; i++) {
# try {
# xhr = new ActiveXObject(versions[i]);
# }
# catch (e) { continue; }
# break;
# }

this way any time the object isn’t instantiated il will jump back to the try part in the for, else it will reach the break statement, meaning it succeeded in instantiating the object.

I completely agree with you.
If the company wants to stay in middle age, you don’t have too. Start freelancing.
I am a freelancer, and the best experience was with GAF.

Agreed, why complicate things? AJAX is JavaScript.

Great tut! While javascript libraries definitely have their place, they’re not always the best solution. One good situation to use plain javascript is when writing code that will be used by someone else, such as a Wordpress plugin. Preferably a plugin should not force someone to load an extra library (it could create conflicts with a library already in use on their site).
