I am looking at firebug and I see verything gets sent correctly but I don't get any response whatsoever. Oh, and I'm using raw Javascript because I want to practice it. =)
You are trying to do cross-domain XMLHttpRequest. It doesn't work although the service may be supporting JSONP. To do a JSOP request, you either need to inject a tag with the correct event handlers or use a framework such as jQuery.
