I'd recommend grabbing Firebug from
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1843/ , installing it, turning on
"Show XMLHttpRequests", and then checking to make sure the content
you're getting back is the content you expect. It may be that your code
is throwing an error rather than returning XML, which might be part of
your problem.

Good luck.
