XMLHttpRequest().Open is not a function in Firefox, but it works in Chrome

Question

I have the function below but when I try to run it in Firefox, I get the error "xmlhttp.Open is not a function". This does not happen in Google Chrome, however

Have I missed some code converting from the ActiveXObject? The PAGE parameter is set and works for the ActiveXObject in Internet Explorer

function broker(PAGE, PARAMARR, STARTPARAM) {
  var postdata = getPostData();
  var ua = navigator.userAgent;
  var msie = ua.indexOf('MSIE ');
  //var xmlhttp =null;
  if (msie != -1) {
    xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject('MSXML2.XMLHTTP');
    xmlhttp.Open('POST', PAGE, false);
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader(
      'Content-Type',
      'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'
    );
  } else {
    xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xmlhttp.Open('POST', PAGE, false);
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader(
      'Content-Type',
      'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'
    );
  }
  var paramno, param;
  for (paramno = STARTPARAM; paramno < PARAMARR.length; paramno++) {
    param = PARAMARR[paramno];
    if (param == void 0) param = '';
    if (param === true) param = -1;
    if (param === false) param = 0;
    postdata = postdata + '&Parameter=' + encodeURIComponent(param);
  }
  xmlhttp.setRequestHeader('Content-Length', postdata.length);
  xmlhttp.send(postdata);
  var response = new String(xmlhttp.responseText);
  var brkmsg = getMessage(response);
  return brkmsg;
}

Seems to be a typo. Write "open" in lower case!
