AJAX :: Read Data From Server Using XMLHttpRequest.responseText?
Mar 20, 2009
I am trying to read data from server using AJAX XMLHttpRequest.responseText.In received data, there are lot of similar type of characters which has tge value of FFFFFD (65533). I think, all characters which has the value above 127 are converted to default character.
for streaming the data by keeping the connection open. At client side, i am having the XMhttprequest object (i.e ActiveX object of IE). When the data comes, onreadystatechange method get callback on state 3 but it doesn't allow me to read the data from the object. It says 'The data
necessary to complete this operation is not yet available'. Is it possible to read the streaming data from the XMLHttprequest object in IE?
I know Mozilla supports to read the data, when the ready state is 3. In
Internet Explorer, how we can use the XMLhttp Active object to read the
I am running the scripts below which should return a string containing a URL. So far, it cannot find the form contents in Firefox, but displays the non-dynamic data such as ?Location=. It won't work at all in IE.
HTML Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head>
I'm fetching some HTML files with XMLHttpRequest and dumping the ResponseText into block elements; works fine except that single and double quotes are being displayed as question marks (inside of a black diamond in FireFox)
What's going on ? What is the workaround ? I've tried this:
var plabhttp = createRequestObject(); function getPowerLab(){ if(plabhttp.readyState == 4){ var plabresponse = plabhttp.responseText; document.downloadForm.powerlab.value = plabresponse; } } Problem is that in firefox the variable plabresponse displays nothing. However in IE it comes out ok.
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) {
I have a javascript that has a string variable and is hardcoded example: var text = "A,1,2,3";However, i want to read this string from a text file from the server. (The text file is generated using PHP). How to i get this done?I have seen codes on other pages which deal with this topic. Below is an example of the code
var txtFile = new XMLHttpRequest(); txtFile.open("GET", "http://my.remote.url/myremotefile.txt", true); txtFile.onreadystatechange = function() {
I have the following JavaScript (see below). The script requests an XML file from the server and displays it on the page.
The script works fine when the requested XML file is stored on the same server as the script.
The problem is when I try requesting an XML file from an external server such as the National Weather Service. I get an error. If I take the XML file from the National Weather Service and save it to my server it works. Why can't I use my script to request XML files stored on external servers?
Javascript Code
window.onload = initAll; var xhr = false; function initAll() { document.getElementById("makeTextRequest").onclick = getNewFile;
where someData is a vanilla object of key/value pairs, submissionUrl is a valid URL and ajaxSuccess/ajaxError are both functions.Using jQuery 1.5.1, the GET request is delivered to the server without the data. Using jQuery 1.4.4, the request contains the data.Has something changed in the way I should be assigning data to an ajax request in 1.5.1? The docs don't seem to suggest I'm doing anything incorrectly.
I'm making an ajax call to return the contents for a page using the responseText property. I want to be able to define a javascript function in the page and call it, doing something like:
<script> function test(){ alert('hi'); } test(); </script>
However, none of the javascript in my page works. I'd imagine it has something to do with it being included as part of the responseText and the browser is not picking it up. I haven't been able to find any info about this online anywhere. Any thoughts?
if it's possible to return an array from my php generated content to ajax's responseText. I tried echoing back the whole array variable but can't seem to fully receive it in javascript.
I've been racking my brain for a couple hours now and doing a lot of searching and I cannot seem to find an answer. I want to know if it is possible to return the xmlhttp.responseText value from an AJAX function to the function that originally called the AJAX function.
Code: //Set handler for server response. xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
[Code]....
I want to return the my_response variable to the original caller. No matter what I try I have been unsuccessful. I even tried assigning it to the global window variable using window.my_response = xmlhttp.responseText but it ends up being undefined.
Every example I've seen of using AJAX pretty much does something inside of the if (xmlhttp.status == 200) part to update the web page. I really do not want to do that.
Code: var request = new XMLHttpRequest(); request.open("GET", "http://127.0.0.1/get/file.json?filepath=c:\xxx.xxx"); request.onreadystatechange = function() { if (request.readyState == 4) {
[Code]...
using above code, I wanna implement uploading/dowloading/parsing file with json format. however, the responseText always return null in FF. It it about to make me crazy.
Is there a way for JavaScript to read a text file from a server? Any APIs in HTML5 letting you do that? I would like to build a WebGL object viewer but the files should be read from the server.
I have now learned how to write to and read from .txt files on my server via php, but is it possible to do this with JavaScript? Like that JavaScript writes to the .txt file every second without needing the user to refresh the page to write or read .txt file (with php). 2: Do the same thing with ActionScript 2/3.
I'm trying to write a script that will be loaded from one server into a website on another server. This script is trying to talk (ajax) to the server that it comes from but I'm getting "Access Denied" errors. I'm well aware that cross-domain calls are not allowed for security reasons so my question is how does Google Analytics work because essentially thats what I'm trying to accomplish. I can embed a Google Analytics script into my website and it'll gather data and send it back to Google.
I am playing with the XMLHTTPRequest method to perform client/server transactions. I have it set up right now so that when readyState is 4, it takes the XML and processes it. This works great until there is alot of data. In that case, the user will have to wait for the data to come back which may take a minute or so.
I don't want the user to have to wait. Is it possible for javascript to periodically (while still receiving more data) stop and display what it has received thus far? I guess this would be considered a type of streaming.
In mozilla/firefox, I have read that I can use readyState 3 to run my callback function every 4096 bytes. I can then take those 4K, parse them, and then continue on. However I have also read that IE cannot do this. Since I need this to work in IE, is there a workaround?
My JavaScript is trying to POST data to a CGI script (Perl) using XMLHttpRequest. My CGI server gets different data from IE than Mozilla Firefox.
// For Mozilla, req = new XMLHttpRequest(); // For IE req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); req.onreadystatechange = requestHandler ; // function to handle async response req.open('POST', myURL, true); // use POST req.send('foo=11&bar=22') ;
A Perl CGI script prints the parameters passed to it. $q = new CGI ; foreach my $param ($q->param) { print "$param: " . $q->param($param) . " " ; }
The data received by the CGI script is inconsistent, depending if the client is IE or Mozilla (Firefox) Server result from IE client: foo: 11 bar: 22 Server result from Mozilla Firefox client: POSTDATA: foo=11&bar=22
It seems that the POST data IE sends is more correct than the Mozilla data. Is there another way to send the data in Mozilla so the CGI script will give the same results. I could easily adjust the CGI script, but I think the problem is at the client.
I'm working with a pretty large XML file, but I really only need to display a few things that requires quite a few transforms. I already limited to the transforms to the data i need to use, but I'd like to speed things up by loading only the data I need.
I need to mention that this is for a local application that sometimes will lookup updates on a server, but mostly, it is for local use (offline)
I can use xmlHTTPrequest for both local or server data access. That seems to work fine. Now I would like to be able to load only the data I need.
I hear the Google suggest tool bar uses xmlHTTPrequest to look up a list of known queries, so I am hoping they lookup "only" the necessary data as one types. It's kinda what I want to do, but I'm not sure how that would work, since the "url" parameter should be a destination file name.
I am having trouble populating elements from the following Yahoo RSS feed: [URL] I need to show the current weather conditions when a button is clicked. Here is what I have so far.
[Code].....
I need to populate the <h1> and two <p> elements. I know that the copyWeatherData() and getWeatherData() functions are not coded properly.
I'm reading the content of a local binary file with the method mentioned here: [URL]
Then I'm getting the data as a string where each character represents the binary value. I have successfully sent that string with Mozilla's XmlHttpRequest's sendAsBinary method, but IE 7's version doesn't have that method...
Using the send method almost works, the only problem is that binary content can be represented as the asciicode 0. This means that the string read by sent is cut off as soon as it is encountered. That means that the part before the first NULL character (asciicode = 0) is successfully sent to the server.
The solution I have made right now is to increment each character's asciicode on the client side by one and decrement them on the server before converting the character to the binary representation. The downside with this is that the size of the data sent between the client and server gets larger than the original filesize. Ex: 8kb file grows to ~12kb.
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?
