<p>An <a href="/docs/Web/API/EventHandler" title="A possible way to get notified of Events of a particular type (such as click) for a given object is to specify an event handler using:"><code>EventHandler</code></a> that is called whenever the <code>readyState</code> attribute changes. The callback is called from the user interface thread. The <strong><code>XMLHttpRequest.onreadystatechange</code></strong> property contains the event handler to be called when the {{event("readystatechange")}} event is fired, that is every time the {{domxref("XMLHttpRequest.readyState", "readyState")}} property of the {{domxref("XMLHttpRequest")}} changes.</p>

<div class="warning">
<p><strong>Warning:</strong> This should not be used with synchronous requests and must not be used from native code.</p>
</div>

<p>The <code>readystatechange</code> event will not be fired when an <code>XMLHttpRequest</code> request is cancelled with the <a href="/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/abort">abort()</a> method.</p>

<div class="note">
<p>UPDATE: it's firing in the latest version of browsers (Firefox 51.0.1, Opera 43.0.2442.991, Safari 10.0.3 (12602.4.8), Chrome 54.0.2840.71, Edge, IE11). Example <a href="https://jsfiddle.net/merksam/ve5oc0gn/">here</a> - just reaload page few times.</p>
