Object doesn’t support this property or method XMLHttpRequest error – FIX

June 27, 2012 Rajeev Pentyala Leave a comment

Hi,

I was getting “object doesn’t support this property or method jquery” error when I was initializing

var request = new XMLHttpRequest();

Reason :-

Fix :-

If the browser is detected as Internet Explorer, load ActiveX instead of XMLHttpRequest
Below condition check would solve the problem

var request;

if ($.browser.msie) {

request = new ActiveXObject(“Microsoft.XMLHTTP”);

} else {

request = new XMLHttpRequest();

}

🙂
