Been beating my head against XMLHttpRequest for a long time.  I've boiled this down to the simplest possible request:


I've know calls are supposed to be asyncronous but I've tried that route too to no avail.

Why doesnt the above call work?  What I really want to do is much more complex, but I cannot get any response out of XMLHttpRequest in any way (outputting statustext, reponse, anything...)

I've been having problems getting AJAX working in WebOS too.

Calls are asynchronous as standard in WebOS, synchronous simply is not a choice. You need to assign a function to xhr.onreadystatechange and inside the function have it only run when xhr.readyState == 4. (You might want to check the exact syntax, I'm writing this from memory.

I've tried using Ajax.Request a number of times but it just seems to throw vague errors and never even gets a change in readyState so I've given up and started writing my own wrapper for XMLHttpRequest instead.

Good luck.
