Clinton,

if you double click on the "/geomoose2/php/idenitfy.php" entry in the 
Internet Explorer debugger, then click on the "Response Body" tab, it 
should show you what was sent from the server.  It should look something 
like (I'm using the Geomoose demo at http://demo.geomoose.org/master/):

<script> GeoMOOSE.clearLayerParameters('highlight'); 
GeoMOOSE.turnLayerOff('highlight/highlight');</script>
