Okay an update.

When the variables in the php script are static then the script works
without a hitch.  When the variables are populated from the database
the script doesnt work.
Here are some links for you to test and see what I am seeing.  Use
dan.mccullough at gmail.com as the email address.

The form:
http://www.heathermccullough.com/ajax/index_static.html
http://www.heathermccullough.com/ajax/index_dynamic.html

Behind the scenes:
http://www.heathermccullough.com/ajax/getEmail_static.php?email=dan.mccullough@gmail.com
http://www.heathermccullough.com/ajax/getEmail_dynamic.php?email=dan.mccullough@gmail.com

The source of behind the scenes:
http://www.heathermccullough.com/ajax/getEmail_static_source.php
http://www.heathermccullough.com/ajax/getEmail_dynamic_source.php

If you view source on the php page you will just the the xml output,
if you want to see the js then view source on the html file.
