XMLHttpRequestand IE
Body
One of our readers asked me about a problem he was seeing with one of my Tips and Tricks.
When used in the Script Adapter the line in bold below works great in FireFox, but causes an exception in IE 8.
xmlhttp= new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.overrideMimeType("application/json");xmlhttp.open('GET' , getUserURL , false);
xmlhttp.send();
var myResObj = eval('(' + xmlhttp.responseText + ')');
xmlhttp.send();
var myResObj = eval('(' + xmlhttp.responseText + ')');
The IE version of the XMLHttpRequest object does not support that method and in most cases, it is not required.
