On the downside, it definitely doesn't meet your shortest requirement... ;) I’ve always gone with Jim Ley: http://www.jibbering.com/2002/4/httprequest.html Note the extra XMLHTTP for a different version of MSXML; even copes with IceBrowser!

I shall check that. If we have to use try/catch then we have to. Everyone's either using a library or inventing their own (similar but different) code to do this; it'd be nice to say "*this* is the right way, do it this way" :) And on the libraries point, <a href="http://www.kryogenix.org/days/2006/12/24/the-fog-of-libraries" rel="nofollow">I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer I gave some moments ago</a> :) brothercake: part of the reason it says “I think” up there is precisely because this is supposed to be the start of a conversation where we refine this to be the actual shortest way to do it :) Good point on ActiveX being present but disabled.

Don't you need to test-instantiate the object in IE to protect against runtime errors when ActiveX is disabled? "which you maybe should be" Why's that then..? What about try{} catch{} ?

“which you maybe should be”

Why’s that then..?
