O.P. Update checker
Hey guys, I'm really struggling with something here, I've tried to add an update checker to my script.

code:
function CheckforUpdates()
{
    var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    xmlhttp.open("GET","http://arkanes-arkade.co.uk/XBox/ScriptVersion.txt", true);
    xmlhttp.send(Math.round(Math.random()*99999));
    xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
    {
        if(xmlhttp.readyState==4)
        {
            var resp = xmlhttp.responseText;
            Debug.Trace(resp);
            if(resp != "Version: " + ScriptVersion)
            {
                resp=resp.split(" ");
                if(resp[1]>ScriptVersion)
                {
                    MsgPlus.DisplayToast("XBMC", "Script Update Available!\nClick here to download now", "", "ScriptUpdate", ScriptVersion);
                }
            }
        }
    xmlhttp.close;
    }
}

I don't understand the problem.  Every time I get the toast popup.  I added the debug to find out what my reply was, and I get these errors.

I've contacted my host, but they tell me there is no reason for this error except due to my script being wrong. I don't think this is the case to be completely honest, as it worked with a free site, but if they aren't letting me get anywhere I have to try this.  I need some way to adapt this to work with my site.  any ideas?

Cheers all
