http status codes and javascript

[Oxnard]

if I have a javascript function which calls a servlet. The servlet returns
is a HTTP status code of 204 along with a message can a javascript function
be made to parse the message? If so could I have a example.

Thank you

If you already have a function that calls a servlet then you probably
know what to do:
var httpRequest;
if (typeof XMLHttpRequest != 'undefined') {
httpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
httpRequest.open('GET', 'whatever.jsp', false);
httpRequest.send(null);
alert(httpRequest.status + ' ' + httpRequest.statusText);
}
Should do with Mozilla, Netscape, Safari 1.2.

I guess no IE?

IE on Windows can do it too:
var httpRequest;
if (typeof ActiveXObject != 'undefined') {
httpRequest = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');
...
