Question

i am using AjaxRequest.Get() method from AjaxRequest.
following is the inline javascript in analysis.aspx

 function getAnalysis(type) {            
        var innerHtml;      
        AjaxRequest.get(
            {
                'url': 'getAnalysis.aspx?type=' + type
                , 'onSuccess': function (req) { innerHtml = req.responseText; }
            }
        );
        document.getElementById("div_analysis").innerHTML = innerHtml;
    }

when getAnalysis(type) is called in analysis.aspx everything goes fine – ajax request is properly submitted and response is send properly. But at the end value of innerHTML remains undefined.

Following is the code of getAnalysis.aspx –

 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
    if(type == "somwthing") str = load();    
    Response.Clear();     
    Response.CacheControl = "no-cache";              
    Response.Write(str);      
    Response.End();     
 }

When i debugged javascript using google chrome, i found that value of innerHMTL is undefined, although everything went fine.
So i dont understand why AjaxRequest class is not accepting text output from Reponse.Write().

P.S. : I have also tried Response.ContentType = "text/Html"; and Reponse.Fluch().
please guide me thnx in advance.

You need to set the div contents in the onsuccess function since it is called asynchronously when the AJAX request completes

function getAnalysis(type) {             
        var innerHtml;       
        AjaxRequest.get( 
            { 
                'url': 'getAnalysis.aspx?type=' + type 
                , 'onSuccess': function (req) { document.getElementById("div_analysis").innerHTML = req.responseText; } 
            } 
        ); 
    }
