I have this code:

function render_message(id)
{
var xmlHttp;
  xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();  
  xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=function()
    {
    if(xmlHttp.readyState==4)
      {
    	document.getElementById('message').innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText;
    	document.getElementById('message').style.display='';
    	}
    }
    var url="include/javascript/message.php";
    url=url+"?q="+id;
  xmlHttp.open("GET",url,true);
  xmlHttp.send(null);
}

For some reason it does not work in IE and an error is being reported on this line "document.getElementById('message').innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText;" with an "Unknown Runtime Error".

Can anyone help?

Edit: The code being added to the div is valid code ect.

Here is the response:
