Ajax: Server Response Correct - Viewed In Firebug - Page Not Updating
Feb 23, 2010
A couple of months ago I posted a question in these forums pertaining to some trouble I've been having with a webpage utilizing Javascript and PHP to implement AJAX.
Quote: I'm having two Ajax-related problems on a page I am working on at the moment. (Can't include the link since I'm a new Dev Shed member)
On this page, I have two buttons that use Ajax to fetch two separate forms and put them into a chosen div; that part works like a charm.
On said forms, there is a div that is meant to display any necessary error messages when the submit button is clicked. However, on the first time the page is visited and the form is chosen, the div won't display the error message. Only after refreshing the page/choosing the form a second time will the message show. I've been checking the response from the server via Firebug and the response is correct, it just seems like the page isn't updating correctly.
Secondly, once I refresh or choose the form again and the error message begins to show, if I enter values into the form fields and should be getting a different error message, it never updates. Once again, the server response is correct, but for some reason the page just isn't updating to reflect the new message.
I have been using the date field on the New Event form for testing; if you have Firebug, you should be able to see that I am getting the desired response from the server (look in the allErr div), but the HTML isn't changing with it. I have tried both using my own Ajax functions and using jQuery's Ajax implementation, but both give me the same problems. What am I doing wrong?

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 am using jquery.ajax() to make a POST call to web server which returns HTTP 201 response for successful creation of object at server. Since 201 is a success I expect the success function specified with jquery.ajax to execute but instead it executes the error function specified with jquery.ajax. Here is how I am using jquery.ajax call.

We have the following situation - when Ajax request is sent what's
being returned by the server is usually an XML (which is used for DOM
updates) but sometimes it's HTML which is a whole new page that should
replace an existing one. I.e when we issue an Ajax request we don't
know what will be returned and analyze the response to act accordingly.
Now, the way to replace the current document with a new one used to be
easy and portable for both browsers (we're only supporting IE6 and
Firefox 1.5):
document.open();
document.write( head );
document.write( body );
document.close();
where "head" and "body" are two parts of the result HTML. We had to cut
it to two (rather than going simply with document.write( NewHTML ))
because of IE - our head section contains references to external
JavaScript files (<script type="text/javascript"
src="sth.js"></script>) and IE only loads them when document.write()
call ends. So if body contains any script block (<script
type="text/javascript".. </script>) using any of JS referenced by
head - IE would fail with something like "Resource undefined" if we
push the whole new HTMl in one go by using document.write( NewHTML ).
But it worked perfectly fine in Firefox, meaning
document.open();
document.write( NewHTML );
document.close();
did the job just fine. What's even more important - it also evaluated
all JavaScripts correctly - both in external files referenced by the
head and in the JS blocks embedded in the body.
Until Firefox 1.5.0.6/7 where things stopped working completely - our
lovely and used-to-be portable code
document.open();
document.write( head );
document.write( body );
document.close();
caused Firefox to loose all CSS/JS and display an HTML only page (as if
CSS/JS were disabled). Removing document.close(); improved the
situation a bit by displaying the page with CSS this time but still -
*no* JavaScript was evaluated (meaning, JavaScript blocks embedded in
the document's body were not evaluated).
I took a different path from this point by pushing the new content to
document's head and body "innerHTML". It worked but not for JS
evaluation - I had to do that manually. To evaluate the JS referenced
in the head section of the document - I've traversed the head's DOM
tree while looking for the "script" nodes, then downloaded all of them
one by one using a synchronous Ajax calls (don't laugh!) and eval()-ed
the response. To evaluate JS blocks embedded in the body of the
document - I've traversed the body's DOM tree while looking for the
"script" nodes and eval()-ed them.
The problem is following: eval()-ing external JS files after
downloading them with Ajax doesn't work in 100% of cases - some
statements using Prototype functions fail to execute ("prototype.js" is
one of external JS files referenced in the head). Anyway, I'm almost
sure that what I'm doing is plain wrong, i.e it's sounds silly to
download all JS files referenced in the head and eval() them !
So how do I fix it ? Simply put - how do I replce the content of the
document to the completely new one received as a response to
asynchronous Ajax call ? The new content conatins doctype, head, body -
it's a completely new page. And all JS referenced in the head and
embedded in the body should be evaluated as well.
I really wish
document.open();
document.write( head );
document.write( body );
document.close();
was working in Firefox as before. Is it simply a Firefox bug, should I
submit it ? Btw, document.open.write.write.close() works just fine in IE6.

I 'm having an ajax function that polls a server for a response. This response is in fact an html page which is dynamically constructed on the server. What I want is to be a able to replace my current html page ( not only the body ) with the html I am receiving as response from the server. I tried using document.write or innerHTML on html element but none of these does not seem to work. Here is a sample of the code I am using. code..

I am taking the document.documentElement.innerHTML from the current page displayed to the user and converting it to pdf using Java.I send document.documentElement.innerHTML from the client and interpret and process it at the server.My question is : there are several elements that I would like to remove in the html before I can send it over to the server.Eg. I do not need some text boxes etc as the pdf will be a snapshot of the viewing page hence no need for input boxes. When I try :
var comments = document.getElementById('toggleDisplayComments');
var parentElement = comments.parentNode;
parentElement.removeChild(comments);
The element gets removed in the page that is viewed and not in the html that I am sending

I have a drop down menu with a change event that makes a JQuery JSON AJAX request, which I've simplified for this post:
Code JavaScript:
$('#id_template').change( function() {
var data = {
action: 'change_template'
[Code]....
When I do change the drop menu's value, the request seems to be successfully sent with a successful reply received (inspected it in Firebug), as the content in the "status == success" is accessed. However, the problem is the response is null.
I don't have this problem when I'm testing on my local WAMP setup, and so have no idea why everything appears to be working fine here except the retrieval of the response array.

I have designed a form as below
<form action="https://checkout.google.com/api/checkout/v2/checkoutForm/Merchant/XXXXXXXXXXXX" id="BB_BuyButtonForm" method="post" name="BB_BuyButtonForm" target="_top" >
<input name="item_name_1" type="hidden" value="Test Product"/>
<input name="item_description_1" type="hidden" value="Test Product of my cart"/>
[Code].....
On hitting the button one new window is getting opened with response URL from 3rd party(in this case Google Checkout). But for me i need to open this in a inline-popup (lightBox, ColorBox etc...) rather than new window. In the form definition, i have replaced mymerchant_idwith 'XXXXXXXXXX' for privacy purpose

You have an AJAX request and the response is mixed HTML + JavaScript. The javascript is referring to elements in the HTML component. Currently the JavaScript gets evaluated first thing when success is triggered and the HTML is returned as a parameter. Obviously this is not going to work ( in this scenario anyway ). As a previous Mootools user I was used to Request.HTML's responseJavaScript parameter and evalScripts option. None of there options are available in the $.ajax implementation.
P.S. I know I could make the javascript a file and load it separately. I know I can make my response JSON and have the js and html in separate properties of the JSON object. I want neither.

I use .append() and .prepend() to automatically add content to a existing html tag with id. In IE the function is working fine but when i viewed it using view source i can't see the content. When i tried it with Chrome, i can immediately see the content. Is there something i missed out?

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.

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'd been looking for some way to get server date/time without using any server side script (such as ASP, PHP, etc).
I found this and it worked just excellent for me! I just want to share it because it wasn't easy to find.
I created a js document with code:

Now, I can use this js within a html like this:

You may change your machine date/time and check both dates.

Can you see an ajax call in Firebug when using $.getJSON? If so, does it return the jsonobject correct? Maybe there are some enters or something in front of the json?

I trying to make a call to an external domain using $.ajax() and it WORKS, the server receives the call, but the response in firebug errors out in jquery.js line 7760. I've been beating my head at this all day and don't feel like I've made it much further.
I suspect it has something to do with the dataType or type of the request. But I've tried all kinds of things from POST to GET to JSONP in the type. For dataType, I've also tried "html", "text", "xml", "json", and even some combos of "text html" but no success.

Whenever firebug detects a js error on a page, it prevents you from interacting with the page, so you can't scroll, you can't click, you can't do anything except close the window.

Is there a trick (with javascript or something) that can change a hidden value on a page directly from the browser without using "Firebug" software? for example: <input type="hidden" name="something" value="something_else"> I need to change "something_else" to "something_else_2"
