Here is my code:

function evalCtr(Ctr)
{
var xxxhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xxxhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xxxhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
xxxhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
  {
  if (xxxhttp.readyState==4 && xxxhttp.status==200)
    {
    alert(xxxhttp.responseText);
    }
  }
var params = "oper=XXX&Center=YYY";
xxxhttp.open("post","c_ctr.cfm",true);
xxxhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xxxhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length)
xxxhttp.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");

xxxhttp.send(params);
}
Here is my code:<br /> <br /> <pre><nowiki>function evalCtr(Ctr) { var xxxhttp; if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari xxxhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else {// code for IE6, IE5 xxxhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xxxhttp.onreadystatechange=function() { if (xxxhttp.readyState==4 && xxxhttp.status==200) { alert(xxxhttp.responseText);   } } var params = "oper=XXX&Center=YYY"; xxxhttp.open("post","c_ctr.cfm",true); xxxhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); xxxhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length) xxxhttp.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close"); xxxhttp.send(params); }</nowiki></pre>

A good place to ask questions and advice about web development is at the mozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum.
The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.
You need to register at the mozillaZine forum site in order to post at that forum.
