Forum: Rails Spinoffs (closed, excessive spam) Why isn't this working in Firefox 3.0? Does work in IE 7.

<script type="text/javascript">
        (function() {
            new Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater('messages', '/data/messages/' +
$(roomcode).value + '.html', {
              method: 'get', frequency: 5, decay: 1,
              onSuccess: function(transport) {
                  var t = transport;
                  $(updateText).innerHTML = "Updating...";
              },
              onFailure: function(transport) {
                var t = transport;
                $(updateText).innerHTML = "Failed Updating...";
              }

            })
        })();
</script>

The code above works fine in IE7, but not in Firefox 3.  Probably some
browser differences I'm not aware of because of my limited
experience.  Any help is appreciated.

What is updateText?  $(updateText) expects it to be a variable name with 
a
value, but I don't see it defined here.  Or roomcode actually.  Are they
defined elsewhere?
