XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText

[chris0055]

Hi, I'm an absolute beginner to Javascript and ajax, and i was following this ajax tutorial on youtube who demonstrate how to create a link to google search using ajax. I follow everything but my firefox told me there is an error. The syntax is exactly the same but I have no idea why the error occurs. The error says that :

window.google undefined!

and pointing to the code:
function getData(dataSource)
{
if(XMLHttpRequestObject)
{
XMLHttpRequestObject.open("GET",dataSource);

XMLHttpRequestObject.onreadystatechange = function()
{
if(XMLHttpRequestObject.readyState == 4 && XMLHttpRequestObject.status == 200)
{
eval(XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText);
}
}
XMLHttpRequestObject.send(null);
}
}

Where the evaluation eval(XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText); has the error! Any help?! Thank you so much!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, chris0055!

It may be an issue not with your script, but with how the data itself is formatted.

Could you try adding an

alert(XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText);

above your eval line to see what it is trying to eval?
