Javascript to set a SOAP endpoint

Hi all,

I have a problem with a piece of JavaScript that I am using within a Yahoo widget. I am making a SOAP Web Services client. I need to define the end point of the service like this (and this works BTW):

var http_req = new XMLHttpRequest();
http_req.open( "POST", "http://fred.bloggs.com/webservices/soap/search/Products", false );

However I don't want to hard-code the url, so I have set a variable called theSearchURL and thought I could do this:

http_req.open( "POST", theSearchURL, false );

but it doesn't work (even when I surround the url string with &quot. Is there a problem with putting variables within commands like this?

Baffling me, so any help much appreciated.

Thanks,


Ian.

I don't see why this wouldn't work. Try this.

var theSearchURL = 'http://fred.bloggs.com/webservices/soap/search/Products';

http_req.open( "POST", theSearchURL, false );

Check Firefox's error console and see what error you get.
