Rails spinoffs - Mar 2008 - this.initialize is undefined

this.initialize is undefined - prototype.js: Line 48

This error occurs with the following JS:

<script src="prototype.js"></script>
<script>
	function loadBrowseMode()
	{
		$(''browser'').update("Loading...<br/>");
		Ajax.Request(''browse.php'', {
			method:''get'',
			parameters: {
				list: ''author''
			}
		});
	}
</script>

This is strange behavior. Can anyone tell me why it''s happening?

Matt

Matt,

Trunk version of prototype "fixes" few issues with FF3, so you might
want to give it a try.
Also, it''s a good idea to give script tags a
type="text/javascript"
attribute : )

Best,
kangax

Matt, you need a "new" keyword:

new Ajax.Request(''browse.php'', {
                         method:''get'', ...

Cheers,
Andrew
