YOu have Firefox. But are you using Firebug? If not, then may I
suggest you do? The reason being that with Firebug you can see exactly
what is sent to the server, and what response is received. Perhaps
there's something odd going on with the response? Are you getting an
error code back? Does the response actually contain anything? Is the
target URL in the same domain? Firebug will help with all of this...
Also, if the URL in question does not have valid HTML, it could cause
some grief.
As an aside, there's no need for the page_address variable - you *could*
just call obj.href in on the url: line..... But that's a style thing... :)
