    here is my ajax test

    <html>
    <body>

    <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
    <!--

    function createRequestObject() {
    var tmpXmlHttpObject;

    //depending on what the browser supports, use the right way to create the XMLHttpRequest object
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
    // Mozilla, Safari would use this method ...
    tmpXmlHttpObject = new XMLHttpRequest();

    } else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
    // IE would use this method ...
    tmpXmlHttpObject = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }

    return tmpXmlHttpObject;
    }

    //call the above function to create the XMLHttpRequest object
    var http = createRequestObject();

    function makeGetRequest(qid) {
    //make a connection to the server ... specifying that you intend to make a GET request
    //to the server. Specifiy the page name and the URL parameters to send
    http.open('get', 'ajax2.php?q_user_id=' + qid);

    //assign a handler for the response
    http.onreadystatechange = processResponse;

    //actually send the request to the server
    http.send(null);
    }

    function processResponse(qid) {
    //check if the response has been received from the server
    if(http.readyState == 4){

    //read and assign the response from the server
    var response = http.responseText;

    //do additional parsing of the response, if needed
    mvar=qid;
    //in this case simply assign the response to the contents of the <div> on the page.
    document.getElementById(mvar).in... = response;

    //If the server returned an error message like a 404 error, that message would be shown within the div tag!!.
    //So it may be worth doing some basic error before setting the contents of the <div>
    }
    }

    -->
    </script>
