Well as they say we learn more from our mistakes than out successes. That solves the issue, I was launching the different browsers from inside of notebook++ instead of running themthrough localhost/testhtml. Solved all issues thank you very much for your help.

I have place it in xampp/htdocs and get the same results. getting frustrated

2 error messages: XMLHttpRequest cannot open file file///C:/ users/.../resources/test.txt. Cross origin requests are only supported for HTTP. And the second is 'Uncaught error: NETWORK_ERR: XMLHttpRequest Exception 101. I also had an issue with the status code and after researching online found I had to add another statement allow status = 0 to pass. That was how I got the code to work on firefox.

Hello all. I the 'test.js' examples to run smoothly on Firefox, however it doesn't work on IE9 or chrome. I tried it with both my code and the downloaded code. The code produces no error but the data is not retrieved. Problem seemd to be at 'ajax.onreadystatechange = function() {...'. I placed an alert both before and after and the one before is the only one that pops up. Any ideas what I am doing wrong or what the problem is? Thank you in advance!
