Please explicit about the error you are getting.

Hi Bibeault,

Eclipse IDE is not identifying XMLHttpRequest and showing the error

Xmlhttp request is not resolved to a type

.
Do i need to add any libraries to fix the above issue?
Please suggest.

Thanks.
Sultan.

IDE issues are not real errors. Please post in the IDEs forum regarding adjusting your IDE correctly. As you hijacked an existing topic I cannot move this one, so I'm closing it.
