[RESOLVED] multiple ajax request s

[NZ_Kiwis]

I'm building a page with multiple ajax requests, some are triggered by user interaction and some are set with a JavaScript timer control.

I'm using a basic AJAX script taken from w3school's website but modified to my needs obviously.

The issue I have is when multiple requests are sent at the same time I get the wrong response in the wrong place, for example I might get the JavaScript AJAX response when a user is interacting with a form which also uses AJAX to populate data.

How can I get around this?

http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/ajax_aspphp.asp

function showHint(str)
{
var xmlhttp;
if (str.length==0)
  { 
  document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML="";
  return;
  }
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
  {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
    {
    document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
    }
  }
xmlhttp.open("GET","gethint.asp?q="+str,true);
xmlhttp.send();
}

I worked it out, you need to change the name of the xmlhttp to something unique for each request.
