javascript xmlhttp parameters

[sean]

/////////////////////
var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
xmlhttp.open("POST", "http://somesite/logon.asp", false, "domain\username",
"password");
xmlhttp.send();
////////////////////

got an error, javascript error: Incorect syntax.

If I put:
var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
xmlhttp.open("POST", "http://somesite/logon.asp", false);
xmlhttp.send();

Everything is fine but my goal is to pass windows authentication.
What's wrong with the 1st statement?
Thnx,
J

I think the error is in the string literal passed in as the fourth
argument, you need to escape the backslash e.g. use
"domain\\username"

Thank you Martin, though I tried what you have suggested but same
result, same error.
If I only take out the password from the parameters, I dont get the
error but of course the authentication box pops up - thats not my
goal.

Any other ideeas?
Thank you,

J

If you really get a syntax error then I think you have got the syntax
wrong. I have corrected one error, maybe there are others, can you post
the code you are using that causes the error, identifying the line that
IE claims causes the error?
