I don’t know about Ajax.request but have often found that when  
something works in one browser and not another it is due to invalid  
html which is interpreted differently by the different browsers. Have  
you tried pasting the generated html into the w3c html validator to  
check? Or install html validator add-on to firefox which is great as  
it checks the html as you develop.

Karthik, have you checked the error console for both Chrome and Safari?  
If  
not, then I would  
highly recommend doing this when working with Ajax.

Good luck,

Hi Conrad,

Thanks, as you seggested i used error console and found  
“this.transport.send(this.body);” is where the issue occurs though the  
input paramaters are right. this line was not able to send request to my  
server. im blank still.
