Ok, so you know the error, but why on earth am I getting it?
I get no errors at all when this is run locally, but when I uploaded my project I got this annoying syntax error. I've checked the Firebug error console, which doesn't help, because it put all my source on the same line, and I've parsed it through Lint which didn't seem to find the problem either - I just ended up formatting my braces differently in a way that I hate; on the same line as the statement, bleugh.

var xmlObj = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlObj.open('POST', 'handler.php', true);
xmlObj.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
xmlObj.send(cmd + data);
xmlObj.onreadystatechange = function() {
if(xmlObj.readyState === 4 && xmlObj.status === 200) {
if(cmd == 'cmd=push') {
document.getElementById('pushResponse').innerHTML = xmlObj.responseText;
}
if(cmd == 'cmd=pop') {
document.getElementById('messages').innerHTML += xmlObj.responseText;
}
if(cmd == 'cmd=login') {
if(xmlObj.responseText == 'OK') {
self.location = 'index.php';
}
else {
document.getElementById('response').innerHTML = xmlObj.responseText;
}
}
}
}
