With jquery you don't have to have this headache.

just use $.ajax function http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/ and don't have to bother about browser compatibility or ...

a simple example is here

$.ajax({
    url: 'someserverfile.php?someparam_or_nothing', //url
    type: 'get', //method type post or get
    dataType: 'json', //return data type            
    success: function(data) { 
            //on success function handler

        },
});
