 * I’m trying to Ajaxify a javascript error message in an existing WordPress plugin.
   The original code in the plugin looks like this:
 *     ```
       if (msg.length > 0) {
       			msg = "The following fields need to be completed before you can submit.\n\n" + msg;
       			alert(msg);
       			return false;
       		}
   
       	return true;
       ```
   
 * This doesn’t work unfortunately:
 *     ```
       if (msg.length > 0) {
       			msg = "The following fields need to be completed before you can submit.\n\n" + msg;
   
       			if (xmlHttp==null)
       			{
       			alert(msg);
       			return false;
       			}  
   
       			document.getElementById("message").innerHTML = 'Please fill out all required information';
       			return false;
       		}
   
       	return true;   
   
       }
       ```
   
 * What am I missing?
