Can you take a look at this AJAX for me?

Missing a closing Brace?

[Seachmall]

This is my first Ajax script and I'm being told that I'm missing a closing brace. Heres my script:

var xmlHttp;
function getDays(){
 xmlHttp = GetXmlHttpObject();
 if (xmlHTTP==null){
 alert ("Your Browser does not support Ajax");
 return;
 }
var url = "Apage.php";
url = url + "?ran" + Math.random(); 
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = stateChanged;
xmlHttp.open("POST",url,true);
xmlHttp.send("number=" + getElementById('number').value);
}
///////////////////////////////////////////////////
function stateChanged(){
if(xmlHttp.readyState==4 ¦¦ xmlHttp.readyState=="complete"){
 document.getElementById("days").innerHTML = xmlHttp.responseText;
}
}
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
function GetXmlHttpObject(){
var xmlHttp = null;
try{
 xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
catch (e)
{
 try{
 xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
 }
 catch (e)
 {
 xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
 }
}
return xmlHttp;
}

Its an external script and this is the error message I'm getting:

missing } in XML expression (line 5);
xmlHttp = GetXmlHttpObject();
----------------------------^

As far as I can tell all braces have been closed so what am I doing wrong?

*The /// are replacing line breaks. For some reason the code tag cancels after a line break.*

[mehh]

your calling GetXmlHTTPObject before its defined. move the function further up in the code.
