[SGVLUG] AJAX problem

[Peter Fogg]

Thanks for the response. The server is at a hosting company and I do 
not have access to any of the logs. There are no references to 
"file:///" anywhere in the code; the code in the JavaScript declaring 
the url for the request is: 
url='http://www.<domainname>/<phpfilename>.php? ...';. Isn't that a 
fully qualified host name?

Today it is still the case that the AJAX works without problem here at 
my home but fails intermittently on computers elsewhere some of which 
are on slow pipes and some on T1 pipes.
