Opera + XMLHttpRequest

I`m from Russia, so sorry for my bad English.

I want to load the main page of my site by js, and i use this script:

 <script type="text/javascript">
    function httpGet(theUrl) {
    var xmlHttp = null;
    xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xmlHttp.open( "GET", theUrl, false );
    xmlHttp.send(null);
    return xmlHttp.responseText;
    }
 alert(httpGet('http://site.ru'));
</script>

Script located at site.ru/page123.

It works in Firefox and really alert my main page, but if i run it in Opera, nothing happens. Please, fix my code, i can`t see any error in it. Thanks in advance.

XHR is usually asynchronous (switching it to synchronous mode is not recommended for reasons like freezing the browser). You better use a callback.

Since dealing with XHR manually is annoying, I'd suggest you to use jQuery. Using jQuery your code would look like this (that's just the easiest/most simple way to do it):

$.get('http://site.ru', function(resp) {
    alert(resp);
});
