    Hi,
    Possibly because of this line:
    if(response.indexOf(',' != -1)) {
    Code (markup):
    Try rewrite it as: 
    if(response.indexOf(',') != -1) {
    Code (markup):

    Remember, if you're hosting it on another website to the "http://advancedvi.be:8000/7.html" then the browser won't allow the connection for XSS hacking issues. You can't make AJAX-based requests to third parties and manipulate the content as the request is signed to the user, not the server so it's considered hacking.
