Ajax Help?

[jemes]

I'm having a problem with an ajax script, its working in IE (sort of) and not in Firefox.

http://www.willisemail.co.uk/brk/

The script basically brings up a news item when one of the picture links is clicked.

In IE the news item is displayed then dispears and in Firefox nothing.

Any help would be really helpful.

Thanks

var xmlHttp

function showHint(str){

alert(str)

if (str.length==0)
  { 
  document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML="";
  return;
  }

xmlHttp=GetXmlHttpObject()
if (xmlHttp==null)
  {
  alert ("Your browser does not support AJAX!");
  return;
  } 

var url="hint.asp";
url=url+"?ID="+str;
url=url+"&sid="+Math.random();
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged;
xmlHttp.open("GET",url,true);
xmlHttp.send(null);
} 


function stateChanged() 
{ 
if (xmlHttp.readyState==4){ 
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText;}
alert(document.getElementById('txtHint').innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText)
}


function GetXmlHttpObject()
{
var xmlHttp=null;
try
  {
  // Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari
  xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
catch (e)
  {
  // Internet Explorer
  try
    {
    xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
    }
  catch (e)
    {
    xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }
  }
return xmlHttp;
}

<span id="txtHint"></span>

<a href="" onclick="showHint(<%=rsNews("ID")%>)"><img src="uploads/news_images/<%=rsNews("img")%>" alt="<%=left(rsNews("caption"),150)%>" align="top" class="news_Left2" /><%=Left(rsNews("headline"),55)%></a>

Solved the problem.

It was all to do with my trigger calling the ajax script all I needed was the # in the href and it woks fine.

<a href="#" onClick="showHint(<%=rsNews("ID")%>)"><img src="/uploads/news_images/<%=rsNews("img")%>" alt="<%=left(rsNews("caption"),150)%>" align="top" class="news_Left2" /><%=Left(rsNews("headline"),55)%></a>
