Hello,

Only in IE6, I’m getting a JavaScript error “xmlhttp.readystate is null or not an object.” I’ve had other errors and it won’t rotate, nor will it advance or go back through the list. It works fine in IE7, FireFox, Safari, etc…

Thanks in advance

At the top of the janews.js code, there is a check for XMLHttpRequest.

<blockquote>if (!xmlhttp && typeof XMLHttpRequest!=’undefined’) {
try {
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
} catch (e) {
xmlhttp=false;
}
}</blockquote>

However, IE6 (and older) requires a ActiveX that is instaniated by…

<blockquote>xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject(“Microsoft.XMLHttp”);</blockquote>

I ended up pulling the whole if statement and replaced it with…

<blockquote>try {
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
} catch (e) {
xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject(“Microsoft.XMLHttp”);
}</blockquote>

But I’ll probably clean it up soon.

Good luck
