title: new XMLHttpRequest() - do I still need to try/catch for ActiveXObject fallback?
body: <p>From what I gather from the Google machine, it seems unless I'm concerned about IE6 and under users, I no longer need to do a try and catch for <code>XMLHttpRequests</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Just wondering as I'm currently reading <strong>Headfirst Ajax</strong> which was published in 2008 and their forums are dead.</p>
  
  <p>Cheers</p>
