Code: 
<script language="javascript">
function createHTTPObject {
   var httpObj = null;
   if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
      httpObj = new XMLHttpRequest();
   } else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
      httpObj = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHttp");
   }
   if (httpObj) {
      httpObj.onReadyStateChange = function() {
         if (httpObj.readyState == 4) {
            //processCommand(httpObj.responseText);
         }
      };
   }
   if (httpObj != null) {
      return httpObj;
   } else {
      return false;
   }
}
		
function getObject(objectId) {
   if(document.getElementById && document.getElementById(objectId)) {
      return document.getElementById(objectId);
   } else if (document.all && document.all(objectId)) {
      return document.all(objectId);
   } else if (document.layers && document.layers[objectId]) {
      return document.layers[objectId];
   } else {
      return false;
   }
}
			
function setLayer(layerID, display) {
   layerObj = getObject(layerID);
   if (layerObj) {
      layerObj.style.display = display;
      return true;
   } else {
      return false;
   }
}
</script>

Hey guys, got a problem which is bugging the hell out of me. With the createHTTPObject function present, I get an 'Object expected' error everytime I call any javascript functions, but with it not in there, it doesn't happen, this makes it quite apparent that there is something wrong in my createHTTPObject function, but for the life of me, I can figure it out!

Any takers?
 
function createHTTPObject() {

instead of:

function createHTTPObject {

???

not a clue if that helps ... don't kill the messenger if i'm not even close ... don't know anything about java man, just playin around with it and the error disappeared
