Simple - Ajax Question - mysql/innerHTML issue with IE6?
What's up.
OK, I more or less am brand new to Ajax, so be easy
I put together this quick form that allows a user to sign up - the data.php just basically checks a mysql db if the username exists, and either
-if it doesn't exist - create an entry in the database with the username, pw, and email and echo "Congratulations, you are added";
-if it does exist - it echo "Sorry but 'xxx' is already taken, try again!";
This is the weird part though. This works perfect in FF, but IE6 has a weird issue (I only have IE6 here can't test anything else) - With IE6, if the page is freshly loaded, it gives me the correct message - that is, if i put a non-existent name in, it does the echo "Congratulations, you are added"; but if I click on submit again - it doesn't echo "Sorry but 'xxx' is already taken, try again!"; (it does on FF) -
If I start a fresh page and input a name that's already in the database it does echo "Sorry but 'xxx' is already taken, try again!"; -- but if i change the username to something that doesn't exist - it doesn't change the echo (i.e. it still says "Sorry but 'xxx' is already taken, try again!"; - but the record is created in mysql!
I hope this makes sense - thanks for any help!
