Whats wrong with this? (Ajax)

Well I'm just starting out with ajax, and tryed making the simplest thing to start off with. When you click the button, it shows the date and how many seconds has gone. This is what I've got so far.

HTML Page (ajax.html):

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Testing AJAX</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ajax.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" name="ajax" id="name" onkeyup="getTime()" value="Check Time">
<div id="outputMessage"></div>
</body>
</html>

JavaScript Page (ajax.js):

Code:

function createRequest () {
    try {
        request = new XMLHttpRequest ();
    } catch (trymicrosoft) {
    
    try {
        request = new ActiveXObjext("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
    } catch (othermicrosoft) {
    
    try {
        request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    } catch (failed) {
        
        request = null;
    }
    }
    }
    
    if (request == null)
    alert ("Error creating the request object!");
}
    
function getTime() {
    createRequest();
    var url = "http://www.jack-day.com/ajax.php";
    request.open("GET", url, true);
    onreadystatechange = processTime();
    request.send(null);
}

function processTime(){
	if (request.readyState==4 || request.readyState=="complete")
	{ 
		document.getElementById("outputMessage").innerHTML = request.responseText;
	}
}

PHP Page (ajax.php):

Code:


			
 <?php 
    $time = date("d/m/y - s"); 
     
    echo $time; 
     
?>

Thanks in advance

Isnt time a reserved word? Maybe not, but it is in ASP and other languages.

Try changing the variable time, to something else.
