This is probably a very basic problem, but I am still at a basic skill level. I have started practicing with Javascript and Ajax recently. I use Ubuntu on a Virtual Box virtual computer. I have a LAMP installed on Ubuntu. I use Firefox. I have been following the Ajax For Dummies frameworks and examples. I have done some simple Javascript text-display scripts and they work fine. However, when I tried an Ajax script (attempting to get data from a text file on the local host) it does not work. The text does not appear in the browser with either "onclick" or "onload". I downloaded and tested the example Ajax for Dummies script (ch03/index.html) and that also did not work. Any answers or advice would be more appreciated than you will probably ever know.
Cheers guys,
Andrew
