Desenvolvi um aplicativo Web que funciona bem no Chrome e no Firefox. No entanto, quando chegou a hora de testar e não funciona corretamente no IE. Parece que realmente não recebe o pedido?

aqui está o código Javascript:

function createXMLHttpRequest() {
    var xmlhttp = false;
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
        xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    } else if(window.ActiveXObject) {
        try {
            xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
        } catch (e) {
            try {
                xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
            } catch (e) {
                xmlhttp = false;
            }
        }
    }
    return xmlhttp;
};




function checkForData(){

    var target = document.getElementById('accordion');
    var loading = document.getElementById('controls');

    var xhr = createXMLHttpRequest();


    loading.innerHTML = '<img src="../images/loading.gif" width=20 height=20 />Querying the Database';

    xhr.open('GET','getData.php',true);
    xhr.send(null); 

    xhr.onload = function(){
        loading.innerHTML = '<a href="../classes/php/print.php" />Print Report</a><br/><br/><a href="../index.php" />HomePage</a><br/><a href="../classes/php/actionedClass.php" />Refresh</a><br/><a href="../classes/php/logout.php" />Logout</a><br/>';

        target.innerHTML = xhr.responseText;
//      addPrettyness();

    };
    xhr.onerror = function (){
        target.innerHTML = 'Failed :(';
    };

}

function addPrettyness(){
    $(function() {
                    var stop = false;
                    $( "#accordion h3" ).click(function( event ) {
                        if ( stop ) {
                            event.stopImmediatePropagation();
                            event.preventDefault();
                            stop = false;
                        }
                    });
                    $( "#accordion" )
                            .accordion({
                                collapsible: true,
                                header: "> div > h3"});
    });
}

function checkAgain(){
    setInterval('checkForData()',30000);            //Every 30 seconds run the check for new data script

}


function changeAction(action, actionChangeId){

    xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

    if(action == 0){


        var loading = document.getElementById('controls');
        loading.innerHTML = '<img src="../images/loading.gif" width=20 height=20 />Sending to the Database';        

        xhr.open('GET','../classes/php/actionNo.php?actionChangeId='+actionChangeId,true);
        xhr.send();

        xhr.onload = function(){
            checkForData();
        };

        xhr.onerror = function(){
            alert('Failed to change action... Try again please!');
        };

    }else if(action == 1){
        xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

        var loading = document.getElementById('controls');
        loading.innerHTML = '<img src="../images/loading.gif" width=20 height=20 />Sending to the Database';        


        xhr.open('GET','../classes/php/actionYes.php?actionChangeId='+actionChangeId,true);
        xhr.send();

        xhr.onload = function(){
            checkForData();
        };

        xhr.onerror = function(){
            alert('Failed to change action... Try again please!');
        };
    }
}

function startEngine(){
    checkForData();
    //checkAgain();

}


window.onload = startEngine;

e o arquivo .php que ele solicita de echos retorna um resultado de string para o javascrip
