so i'm new to ajax, took the tutorial and it's not working for me. i have a form (name="editEmailContacts") in a hidden div (made viewable by scriptaculous) that calls the js function editEmailContacts() via onclick of the submit button. after the ajax, i have the line....new Effect.BlindUp('editEmail');...which hides the div again. this line isn't being executed, which is why i don't think my request is even being sent to my php script. my php script does work by the way... it's getting vars via get and if i run the script by typing out the url in a browser, it does as it should.any help is much appreciated. i've posted my code below, removing irrelevant parts. thanks for taking the time to even read it. i'll put you on my christmas card list if you can solve my problem :)<?phpsession_cache_limiter('nocache');include("php/dbConnect.php");$recordID = $_GET['recordID'];$userName = $_GET['userName'];$userGroup = $_GET['userGroup'];$userEmail = $_GET['userEmail'];$record_query = "SELECT * FROM records WHERE record_id = '" . $recordID .

This line isn't doing the right thing:xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged(type)You're executing the stateChanged function, not assigning it as an event handler. If you want to use an event handler with a parameter you need to do it like this:xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() { stateChanged(type) };
