AJAX 'xmlhttp.responseText' error

[Koh_1]

Dear all,

May I know what is the problem for my source code.
I let the user to choose the Quarter and Subdept. But when the user choose one of the Subdept, it will show this error

Expected '}' at line (var rows = eval('(' + xmlhttp.responseText + ')');)

May I know why?

Thanks

function doQuery() {
 var idx = getField("Quarter").selectedIndex;
 var selectedValue = getField("Quarter").options[idx].value;
 var selectedLabel = getField("Quarter").options[idx].text;

 var adx=getField("subdept").selectedIndex;
 var selectedValue1=getField("subdept").options[adx].value;
 var selectedLabel1=getField("subdept").options[adx].value;


   var p = selectedValue;
   var q = selectedValue1;
   if (p == "") {
      //clearGrid();
      return;
   }
  else if(q==""){
    return;
  }

  if (window.XMLHttpRequest){ // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
      xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }else{ // code for IE5, IE6
      xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
   xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
      if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200) 
      {
          var rows = eval('(' + xmlhttp.responseText + ')');
          for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) 
          {
          var table=document.getElementById("unsubmitTable");
          var row=table.insertRow(1);
          var cell1=row.insertCell(0);
          var cell2=row.insertCell(1);
          var cell3=row.insertCell(2);

            cell1.style.fontSize="12px";
            cell2.style.fontSize="12px";
            cell3.style.fontSize="12px";
            cell1.style.color="black";
            cell2.style.color="black";
            cell3.style.color="black";



          cell1.innerHTML=rows[i].DRIVERNAME;
          cell2.innerHTML=rows[i].EMAIL;
          cell3.innerHTML=rows[i].DEPARTMENT;


         }
       }
   }
   xmlhttp.open("GET", "http://d12345678/unsubmit.php?p="+p+"&q="+q, true);   
   xmlhttp.send();
}
getField("Quarter").onchange=doQuery;
getField("subdept").onchange=doQuery;

Hi, I found out the reason. I set the size for the <table><th> too small.. and one of data the size is more than 150px..
