Hi,

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

var request = new XMLHttpRequest();

Reason :-

• This is a problem with Internet Explorer browser (ActiveX to be precise)

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();

}

🙂
