Internet Explorer uses an ActiveXObject, while other browsers uses the built-in JavaScript object called XMLHttpRequest.

code:

<html> <body>

<script type="text/javascript">
function ajaxFunction()   {
  var xmlHttp;   try     {
    // Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari
    xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
    }   catch (e)     {
    // Internet Explorer
    try       {
      xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
      }     catch (e)       {
      try         {
        xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
        }       catch (e)         {
        alert("Your browser does not support AJAX!");
        return false;
        }
      }
    }
  }
</script>
