Can anyone check out this script? My ajax code doesn't run and the xmlhttp.status is always 0 though it is always 200 in my other scripts. I am sure there is something wrong with my script. Can anyone help me fix it? I tried to debug it for hours but couldn't fix it :(

<?php
	require '../includes/connect.inc.php';
?>
<style type='text/css'>
	@import url('../styles/pagestyle.css');
</style>
<div id='result'><p class='basicbox'>You can add a maximum of 10 menus. Keep a menu blank if you don't need it.</p></div>
<?php
	$query = "SELECT `link_name`,`page_id` FROM `onwebed_menu` WHERE 1";
	if ($mysql_query = mysql_query($query)){
		if (mysql_num_rows($mysql_query)>=1){
			$i = 1;
			while($mysql_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($mysql_query)){
			?>
				
				<div id='basicdiv'>
				<span><?php echo $i." "; ?><input type='text' id='linkname<?php echo $i; ?>' value="<?php echo $mysql_row['link_name']; ?>" class='textboxbasic'>
				<input type='text' id='pageid<?php echo $i; ?>' value="<?php echo $mysql_row['page_id']; ?>" class='textboxbasic'></span><br>
				</div>
				<?php
				$i++;
			}
		}else{
			die('No results found');
		}
	}else{
		die("There was an error");
	}
?>
<p></p><input type='button' value='Save Changes' class='submitbutton' onclick="editmenu('result','editmenu.inc.php');"/>
<script type='text/javascript'>
	function editmenu(id, file){
		if (window.XMLHttpRequest){
			xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
		}else{
			xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHttp');
		}
		
		xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function(){
			if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200){
				document.getElementById(id).innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;
			}
		}
		var linkname1 = document.getElementById('linkname1').value;
		var linkname2 = document.getElementById('linkname2').value;

		xmlhttp.open('POST', file, true);

</script>

first off, if you don't have 10 menu items set, the script will break. for example I only set 5 elements (faking your query and setting items in a for statement), I tried to save one of the five elements I was toying with and immediately go doecument.getElementById("linkname6") is null. javascript error. your code will not work as written. perhaps the better question is, what are you trying to accomplish. take a look at this thread. it is not 'your' issue, but looking at what you are trying to do it is almost the exact same thing I was looking at yesterday, and this guy deraad has some solid code.

I would go to his site and login as guest, look at the functionality of his lists. view page source and look at code in the question asked above.
