Firefox---Pain in the neck

hey friends i am facing a little problem,
i am using AJAX in Firefox but it is giving very strange, every thing is working is working fine in IE, but in Firefox , every thing is reverse.

let me tell you.

in ajax as we all know that
1) we create object
2) then we heck its readystate
3) then after we check readystate and status is onreadystatechange event
4) then we opens the connection
5) we send it;

then we are able to get the data


i am going in this way

and on 6th step i am trying to read the response value but, what is happening wrong is that,
sixth step is executing before then last 3 steps;

any help will be appriciated

Can you post a sample of the code you're using?
