    This is the code, maybe somebody can tell me what to do?

    } else
    setTimeout('goHttp(' + step + ')', 1000);
    } else {
    if(response.substr(0,16).indexOf(':') > -1) {
    var func = response.substr(0,response.indexOf(':'));
    if(func == 'whois') {
    if(response == 'whois:DNE')
    document.getElementById('TSRwtoggle').innerHTML = 'The domain does not exist in whois records.';
    else {
    document.getElementById('TSRwtoggle').innerHTML = '';
    document.getElementById('TSRwtogglelink').style.display = 'inline';
    }
    }
    document.getElementById('TSR' + func).innerHTML = response.substring(response.indexOf(':') + 1);
    }
    comp[step] = 1;
    comps++;
    }
    if(comps == Steps) {
    active = false;
    url = '';
    abort = false;
    document.forms['TSRform'].elements['submit'].value = 'Lookup';
    }
    slideMeDown();

    Make sure that func is what you think it is. I'm assuming the line that is failing is:

    document.getElementById('TSR' + func).innerHTML = response.substring(response.indexOf(':') + 1);

    Otherwise make sure the other id's exist. You may want to create a js function called $id or something that first
    ensures that the id exists and alerts if it doesn't, this will help weed out typos in your html.
