Ajax Responsetext ... Help!	View Content

Dear Forum Guys,
I have a problem regarding how to recieve multiple response texts from an Ajax code.

That is: I want to recieve multiple "responseText"s from the ajax code so that i can populate my form in an asp page. I would also like to know how i can send multiple asp or javascipt Variables inside the responseText of an Ajax code, so that when ajax does responseText i could use the variables just sent from another page (i.e the variables are recieved by the same ajax code after doing responseText) to do some specific tasks.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Greetings all!

Im looking for some help regarding responseText, so please have a look im so mad right now because i have been struggeling for hours

XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText returns correct value when i do alert(XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText); see line

PHP Code:
var fnWhenDone = function (XMLHttpRequestObject) { alert(XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText); };

But problem is that i want to save down the response to a variable... so i try to change it into

PHP Code:
var fnWhenDone = function (XMLHttpRequestObject) { varTest = XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText; };

When i try to alert varTest later i get "Undifined"... im pretty new to javascript and have been stuck for hours ...

See full code below

PHP Code:

var myConn = new XHConn();

if (!myConn) { alert("XMLHTTP not available. Try a newer/better browser."); }

var fnWhenDone = function (XMLHttpRequestObject) { alert(XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText); };

myConn.connect("validateSearch.php", "POST", "foo=bar&baz=qux", fnWhenDone);

function XHConn()
{
  var xmlhttp, bComplete = false;
  try { xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); }
  catch (e) { try { xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); }
  catch (e) { try { xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); }
  catch (e) { xmlhttp = false; }}}
  if (!xmlhttp) return null;

I am wondering how can I return the variable senttext from the function below?

I have declared it and when I alert(senttext) below it appears as I want it but I need to return it and pass it to another function. When I change alert() to return the variable becomes undefined???

var senttext;
function getData()
{

if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
req = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else if (window.ActiveXObject) {

req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}

req.open('GET',"http://www.site6.certcoordering1.com/Download/recall.txt" );

req.onreadystatechange = function()
{
if (req.readyState == 4)
{
if (req.status == 200)
{

senttext ='<table style="border:thin black solid"><tr><td><h2>Recent</h2></td><td><h2>Recalls</h2></td><td></td><td></td></tr>' ;

var ad2 = req.responseText.split("\n");
for(i=0; i<ad2.length-1; i++)

Sub-ajax Call To Automatically Load Within Primary-ajax Call - Which Function Best?

Similar Tutorials

View Content

Hi,

I am hoping I just need to be pointed in the right direction with this.

I have Page1.

When Page1 body onloads it uses Ajax to call PartA

Within PartA I have a message board so members can write messages which will be sent to my database in PartA[1] and immediately posted for view on to PartA[2]. As I want to have my request to the server updating regularly I want to have PartA[2] on a timed loop to refresh - I do not need the content of PartA[1] to refresh.

So the order of events would look like this:
Page1
|
onload call
|
v
PartA
/ \
V V
PartA[1] PartA[2]
(loads once) (constantly refreshes)

What I am not sure about is that I have <body> and <head> attributes in Page1 only. I have already used my body onload to call PartA (and can't use it to call PartA[2] before PartA has loaded anyway).

I do not want the user to have to click a button or do anything to call up PartA[2].

So my question is how would I get PartA[2] to automatically load within PartA?

I hope I have made this clear, but if I haven't let me know and I will try again.

Hello everyone. I was working on a ajax function and I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I'm kinda new with the prototype method I was wondering if I could get some help figuring out what I'm doing wrong here exactly and how I can fix this.

Any help on this would be wonderful.

hi;

This is my first post and am abit stuck.

I used JQuery AJAX to get data from a different page and show it in my div.

This all works fine but now i want the page collected by AJAX to execute a Javascript function which is in the page which request the AJAX page.

I have this so far but its not working.
This is in the AJAX-ed page.
Code:

<a href="#" onClick="change_postcode(prompt('Please Enter Your Postcode', 'SW10')");
)">SW10</a>

And the page which requested the AJAX page.
Code:

<script type="text/javascript"> 
function change_postcode(postcode){
$('#view8').html('<p><img src="http://www.MySite.com/images/loading.gif"/><br />Loading! Please Wait...</p>');
  $('#view8').load("http://www.mywebsite.com/include.php?inc=Events&when=&amp;postcode="+postcode);
}</script>

I though about using top but that didn't work. Code:

<a href="#" onClick="top.change_postcode(prompt('Please Enter Your Postcode', 'SW10')");
)">SW10</a>

How can i get my AJAX page to execute a Javascript function which is in the page which contains the the AJAX page.

Thankyou all for reading my post
Paul

P.S Am very sorry for my way with words.

I need some help with some javascript I am trying to put on an IF forum.

http://s7.invisionfree.com/AJAXTEST/index.php

At the very top, you will see a link called "on this link". It is an ajax code. If you click on it, a blank alert box comes up.

However, if you go he

http://commx.info/will/test.html

and click on the same link, the alert box has the text I am looking for. It uses the exact same code, so I can't figure out why it works on a plain page and not on an IF forum. Does anyone have any ideas?

The code is
Code:

<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"><script>
function callback(serverData, serverStatus) {       
   alert(serverData);                               
}

function ajaxRequest() {
   var AJAX = null;                                 
   if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {                     
      AJAX=new XMLHttpRequest();

      alert("Your browser doesn't support AJAX.");  					
      return false

Like is it possible to put some php into a javascript function that runs when I click the button on my page? Something like that?

The PHP updates the MySQL database and the JavaScript tells the PHP when to happen? Just wondering what's the best way to go about that.

Hi all,
I am using ajax to retreive the content of an xml file on my server.
I am using the xmlhttp.responseXML.documentElement to validate that the data is correct.
The problem starts when I want to copy this data into a different variable and to access it later.

I defined a global variable, and in the response function (which is called after the ajax was served) I am duplicating this node into a different one.

the problem is that when I try later to access this variable from functions within the same file it allways null.

why is it happenning? is it a scope issue or something else?

Code:

var xml_config_dom;

function loadXMLDoc(url)
{
	xmlhttp=null;
	if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
	{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
		xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
	}
	else
	{// code for IE5, IE6
		xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
	}
	
	xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=onResponse;
	xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
	xmlhttp.send(null);
	
	
}

function onResponse()
{
	
	if(xmlhttp.readyState!=4) return;
	if(xmlhttp.status!=200)
	{
		alert("Problem retrieving XML data");
		return;
	}
		xml_config_dom=xmlhttp.responseXML.documentElement.cloneNode(true)
	
    
}

I am very new to web development and I need a push in the right direction here. This is my problem; I am making a web page that will be used privately by two people. I need to find a way to go to an FTP site that can only be accessed by web browser (that is what IT told me) and download a file that has a constant name "prevhour.log" and save this file to a directory so that it can be read (not sure how, my boss is doing that end) and the data will be dumped, and this data will be extrapolated into a gas gauge style dashboard. I need some way of this to be done as automated as possible. Thank you for your time.

Problem In Ajax

hi everyone..
i am using ajax to change the banner background while pressing on refresh
Note:it must be a background image because i will display data from database...

http://www.graphicano.com/isis/nile_crown2.php

please look at this link...

my problem is:
when i press refresh button in Firefox browser it changes the background and on pressing refresh again the background will change

but in internet explorer 8.0 it changes the background only for the first time and on pressing refresh again the background will not change.

how i can fix this problem ?? i want the user to press refresh at any time and the background will change.. not only for the first time?
at the same time it must be a background image because i will display text from database...

I have been successfully using the following "myAjax" function to load text file information from the server.
Code:

// ajax.js
// From: http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=245681
//  and: http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=245694

var myAjax = {
  TextInformation : '',
  myAjaxIO : function (U, V) { //LA MOD String Version. A tiny ajax library.  by, DanDavis
    var X = !window.XMLHttpRequest 
	  ? new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP') 
	  : new XMLHttpRequest();
    X.open(V ? 'PUT' : 'GET', U, false );
    X.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html');
    X.send(V ? V : '');
    return X.responseText;
  },
  doLoad : function (filename) { this.TextInformation = this.myAjaxIO(filename); },
  getTextInfo : function () { // alert(this.TextInformation);  // for testing purposes
    return this.TextInformation }
}
/* example
function Load_and_Show(filename) {
  myAjax.doLoad(filename);
  document.getElementById('TArea').value=myAjax.getTextInfo();
}
*/

After I load the text file, I store the text "records" into an array by doing something like this:
Code:

  var Recs = myAjax.getTextInfo().split('}');

Where the '}' character is my record delimiter. It could just as easily be '\n' or '\r' or the like.
Again, I am not having any problems doing it this way as it suits my current needs.

Now the question(s)
1. Does the call to read the text data from the external file
always read in the entire contents or can I read one line or delimited record
at a time and store it to the array directly without the text storage?

2. If the text is always read completely (my suspicion), can I safely delete
the "TextInformation" after I convert to the array format? Is there any memory
penalty for doing it this way as the text information can be somewhat lengthly
and I don't like the idea of having doubled memory usage when I only need the information in array format anyway?

This is the idea I am considering, but I don't know if there are drawback to this method of if there is a better way to accomplish the task.
