Hey folks.  I've recently updated to Vista, but with it I've started having problems with on of my scripts.

Basically put, I'm trying to send data to a web server on my network.  This used to work fine on XP but now it doesnt.  The offending code is this:

code:

---

http = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
http.open("GET", url, true, user, pass);
http.send(sendthis);

---

I'm presuming that the problem is that the required ActiveX control doesnt exist on Vista, so I'm looking for a Vista alternative.  can anyone give me any pointers?

Cheers guys

it works fine here

Hmm.. Perhaps you should try this:

code:

---

try {
      http = new XMLHttpRequest;
}
catch(e) {
      try {
            http = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
      }
}

I've got to know that Vista with IE 7 supports this (although I could not confirm the source).

OK, thanks SmokingCookie - 10 seconds and that was working perfectly so thanks very much.

-dt- It was just a guess, but if you have it working I may do a little extra searching to find out the difference.... I'm more used to that method.

Cheers guys
