AJAX :: XMLHttpRequest - FF Vs IE - Gets A Stock Quote From Yahoo And Displays It
Mar 7, 2011
I've put together a function for screen scraping, just to see if I could do it. Basically, this gets a stock quote from Yahoo! and displays it. It works with no issues in IE7. FF and Chrome, however, it does not work. It will not display anything. Error Console is not returning any errors, and I'm a total novice when it comes to troubleshooting with FireBug.
[Code]....
I'm sure it's something simple, something I've overlooked. I'm beginning to think it might be with the trenary conditional setting the method.

I am working on a small gadget which downloads a series of images from the web and displays the images in a loop. However i am having trouble saving the xmlhttprequest to a file to use later in an array. I have read that it should be easy to save the .png using Scripting.filesystemobject but have been unable to find any information on how to do it.
Here is my code so far:

how the yahoo ad serving script can be used to serve up ads up using JavaScript that isn't inline? I've attempted several things but it just seems like its impossible to do. Essentially, I would like to swap out a new round of ads per AJAX request. Any ideas? I've created a more friendly user interface for a site I'm working on but the thing is that the ads need to change every request since page refreshes are being eliminated. Otherwise, only a single impression may be tracked even though someone has visited essentially 100 pages, which is no good for the ad business.
Also, has anyone had success finding a way to delay the yield manager until the page has fully loaded? Sometimes the yahoo yield manager can take 10+ seconds resulting in a poor user experience and slow load time. Any ideas for that? Essentially, it would be nice to fully load the page than request the ads without using obtrusive JavaScript which seems to be the only way yahoo knows to do things.

I ran in to a strange problem with a client who uses Yahoo hosting. The web site uses AJAX (jquery, php, javascript). There is no problem viewing the site using IE8, Firefox on a Windows 7 computer. On an XP computer the site worked fine in IE, but not in Firefox. The site never worked properly using Chrome or Safari.
I tried jquery 1.3.2 and 1.4.2 but got the same results.
I use this same combination (jquery, php, javascript) on other web hosts and don't have these problems.
I know that Yahoo hosting injects tracking code in the web pages it serves for the sites it hosts (at least for my client). I think this could be the source of the problem.
When I removed jquery (I was only using the load function anyway) and used my own code- the problem disappeared. The site now works in all browsers.

Some suggested I posted here so I'm just wondering if anyone knows where I can find a free scrolling marquee which displayed stock markets gains and losses... I've searched high and low but the only ones that I can find cost some rediculous price for it. I was hoping I could get one for free

It is day two of the same problem (and day two of learning Ajax, day five of Javascript)
The current code (below) does nothing; it does not go into the showContents function. Switching the order of some items would cause it to enter the function, but it would always alert that the xhr status was 0. I guess this is an improvement?
php doc that is getting requested (I don't think the error is here as the problem is that it is not even initializing):
Code:
javascript code that is requesting the information:
Code:
I need to pass the num variable because the fields I am dealing with are part of a bunch of fors that create an unspecified number of fields titled 1source, 2source, 3source, etc.

My app recently upgraded to 1.4 and as such started using the XMLHttpRequest in the success callback of the .ajax function however we been forced to roll back to 1.3.2 due to performance issues with IE7 (forced to use in a corporate environment) Is there any way to get access to the XMLHttpRequest after an ajax call? If not, would anyone be so kind as to point out if its possible to modify the 1.3.2 source to add the parameter to the success call back like in 1.4? I am hoping its a simple modification however I could be wrong. We are set to upgrade to the lastest jQuery when we get a browser upgrade to IE9 but that could be up to a year away and I would really like to continue to use the XMLHttpRequest in my app as its a lot faster than my old approach.

I am trying to create an xmlhttprequest object to update the shopping cart on my web page without submitting the entire page to the server for processing. However, what I have done so far is not working. All that is happening when I click the "update cart" button is the page sort of flashes and the check marks in the remove item check boxes disappear. The first code snippet is the "traditional" way of submitting the whole page to the server for processing - and it works. The second snippet is what I have done to try and implement AJAX to submit only the shopping cart - and it does not work.

I am trying to build a very simple Ajax example with JavaScript and PHP. Basically, the goal is to populate a select list with values dependent on the selection in another list. I am able to do a GET from a server-side script and I see the XML displayed correctly in XMLHttpRequest.responseText. However, when I try to check XMLHttpRequest.responseXML, I am not able to get anything out of it. The alert() shows it as an "Object", so it's not null. I have tried getElementByTagName() from both responseXML and responseXML.documentElement, each time giving a legitimate inner tag, but nothing comes out. What is the correct way of doing it? This is my JavaScript and HTML code:

I find ajax with jquery more confusing than with regular JS, b/c in jQuery you don't declare XMLHttpRequest object.. so how do you do something like:
In example I mention here,[url] namely [url] I don't understand where var 'msg' is declared, I know it comes from the back-end, but HOW is it passed to the front-end? (how do you do this w/o responseText or something similar?)
I'm trying to connect to a send-mail jsp with ajax.. the email is not getting sent.. I want to test if the ajax connection is being made at all.. don't know how do it w/o something like xmlHttp.responseText
This is my jQuery ajax code for connecting to send-email jsp:
var dataToSend = "name=sName&email=sEmail&msg=sMsg;

i am new to AJAX but i havejust managed to write one of my first basic scripts. What it does is takes all the news items out of a database and lists them as links. When you click a link i want all of the data that is linked to that news item to display underneath. Now i have got this to work except it will not work in Firefox, all other browsers it is fine.

I was wondering if it was possible to execute javascript returned by ajax (XMLHttpRequest)? I can see that the script is returned by it doesn't execute. Here is what it returns. I can see the output but when I click on it nothing happens.

function hi(name){
var latBox = document.getElementById("myinfo");
latBox.innerHTML = "<div>Greetings: " + name + "</div>";
}
</script>
<p onClick="hi('hi');">Math.random = " + Math.random() + "</p>

I have made a page thats makes an AJAX call to the server gets the time and displays it. In the OPEN method i have set
req.open("GET","/timerProg.cgi?param1="+new date(),false);
I have set the last parameter as false as i am expecting a synchronous request so that time displayed should be consistent.
I am using new date() since the browser is caching my request and displaying the same output everytime as i dont know any other alternative.
The alternative so that browser does not cache the results and gives proper output each time.

Can I use the XMLHttpRequest object to call a url which would generate a PDF and then display it to the screen?
I'm new to AJAX and I'm very interested in using it to asychronously bring back documents with a content-type that IS NOT text/plain or text/html (like a PDF or Excel document) and then display that document to the screen. I have a web application that dynamically generates PDF and Excel documents. A user may have to wait a minute for the new doc to be created and displayed to the user. I want to put an animated notice saying the doc is being generated similar to what you see when you execute a search on a search engine. I've tried using animated gifs (with frames, etc.) but they don't work. As soon as a request is sent for the PDF, the browser halts the gif in IE. If I could instead call the URL that will produce the PDF asynchronously, then I could display the animated gif and call the PDF at the same time. Once the PDF is generated, I want it to then be displayed to the screen.
