Re: Saving AJAX responseText to a variable

ajaxObject.onreadystatechange = ajaxObjectStateChange;

This should be:
ajaxObject.onreadystatechange = ajaxObjectStateChange();

function ajaxObjectStateChange()
{
if(ajaxObject.readyState == 4)
{
my_variable = ajaxObject.responseText;
}
}

If readyState != 4 my_variable is not set.

As you can see, I use an alert to return the value I'm trying to
retrieve, but it always come up as undefined (or a empty string if I
initialize the variable).

Mainly because you were not calling the function.
