<div id="thediv">Loading..</div>

It works in every other browser..

when you open it in IE. what happen? does it show NO AJAX! message?

Nope, it just doesn't load anything..

Are you running it on a server or on local files?

It's on one of my web servers, would you like a link to the website? It should work locally too..

I figured it out.. :P

Instead of:

xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=function thediv(){

It should be..

xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=function(){

Thanks anyway.. lol

ah... yeah, that'll do it. I missed it too
