XMLHttpRequest.onreadystatechange = function()

So I tried implementing ajax by using a lambda function - failing horribly.

Why can I not pass into the onreadystatechange property a callback function that behaves in a similar manner to that of one that is passed as an argument? Is this some sort of syntax of JS that I am not aware of ?

alert(function(){return "Hello!";});//worksXMLHttpRequestObject.onreadystatechange = function(){alert("hello";)};//does not work
