Inline Javascript Not Working While Reading From XMLHttpRequest Object
Jun 9, 2006
I stumbled upon a strange behaviour of the XMLHttpRequest.. Maybe I'm
just not well informed enough about its possibilities, so could someone
please confirm my question?
When I put plain javscript in a file that is read-in through a
XMLHttpRequest-object, it's like it is totally ignored. Eg. I have the
file ajax_include.html with in it's body the following lines
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
alert('some alert');
</script>
when I directly surf to the file, the alert pops up as expected, but
when I use a simple XMLHttpRequest to replace the contents of a div
with the contents of this page, the alert is not popping up, although
when I view the selection's source (Thank you, Firefox!), it is there!
When I place an anchor with an onclick-action (eg. alert('onclick')),
it works when I click it.
So my "conclusion" is that it seems like inline javascript commands are
ignored (functions not recognized etc.). All actions assigned to other
events work nice though.
Can someone confirm this strange behaviour? Or is it just normal with
the use of an XMLHttpRequest opbject?

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:

function XML_request(func) {
var onreadystatechange= func;
this.method = "GET";
this.get = function(url) {
var request = null;
var state_change = function() {
if (request.readyState==4) {
if (request.status==200) {
onreadystatechange(request);
} else {
return null;
}
}
}
try {
request = new XMLHttpRequest();
} catch(e) {
try {
request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} catch(e) {
return null;
}
}
if (request===null) {
return null;
}
request.onreadystatechange = state_change;
request.open(this.method, url, true);
request.send(null);
}
}
var req = new XML_request(function(response) {
response = response.responseXML
alert(response.getElementsByTagName('blah')[0].firstChild.data);
});
req.get('index.php?mode=blah&a=response')
i didn't like the examples I found so this is suitable.. I only tested in ie and firefox though.. so let me know what I may be missing.. or criticism in general.

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 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've created a small AJAX library for our application. We send the response data back as JSON in responseText. So far so good.
Before we invoke the response handler, I'm putting the eval'ed responseText in the request object like so:
Code:
req.respText = eval('(' + req.responseText + ')');
This works in FF but breaks in IE 6. (*gasp*)
I finally got the Microsoft Script Editor yesterday, so I could play with the values and see what was going on. Kind of... I'm still in the dark. For some reason, it won't let me add a property to req. Can anyone explain why/how it prevents me from doing so?
Conceivably I could add the eval'ed responseText to the response handler function, but that would break the API, and would require us to modify a bunch of existing functions.

I am going to use the server push
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
streaming data.

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;

Say I have 2 HTML pages. In page A, I want to display part of page B.(content between a div tag pair with ID in B) Now I was able to use the XMLHttpRequest object to get the complete page B, namely, through the reponseText property of the XMLHttpRequest object. But my goal is only part of page B, not the entire page. I tried to use XML DOM tree node methods to extract the wanted part from page B, but it does not work. I think the problem is that page B is a HTML page, not a XML page. Is there a work around on this?

I have a function that is used to take the contents of various text
boxes, sum them, and write the results to another text box. I have
this function set-up to handle the constiuent text boxes' onBlur
events, and it works great. One of the things it does is it uses the
isBlank method of the string containing the contents of each text box
before it tries to do math on it:
function checkTotal(clientID,id) {
..
..
..
e = document.getElementById(clientID);
if (e) {
strValue=e.value.toString();
alert(strValue);
if (!strValue.isBlank())
..
..
..
I want this script to run when the page loads. This code is generated
deep in an ASP.Net user control, and I can't come-up with a good way to
execute this code in the page's body's onLoad. So I am writing the
following as in-line JavaScript at the bottom of the FORM:
<script language="JavaScript">
checkTotal('txtBudgetLaborHours','BudgetLaborHours ');
</script>
The function executes fine up until it gets to the isBlank method.
I've used alert's to verify that the text box in fact does have the
proper value when this method is called, but when the script goes to
execute the isBlank method I'm getting an "object does not support this
property or method" error.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? Is there a reason the
isBlank function isn't available at this point in the page's life?

I would like to use the xmlhttprequest-object to send an http request
to my server. The http request is used to switch the light on through
home automation.
However it's not working, and I can't find the problem.
Could it be that the apache-server is located on 192.168.0.21 and that
the http request is sent to 192.168.0.21:8080?

I'm back after giving up two years ago to write a page of html code with javascript in it.
I want to display a table with five images (tumbnails) per row with the name of the image (my code number for the image) under it. I want 4 rows of images for a total of 20 images (tumbnails).
I want when someone clicks on one of the tumbnail images a new window opens with the fullsize image displayed.
I have written an html page that does this but I have over 50 such pages that I need to create for my website. Here is the code that does this for each table image cell. Code:

I'm extremely new to XML, tell me what needs to be fixed in my XML file
as well as in my javascript.
My XML file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<imapmail>
<message>
<subject>Testing, 123</subject>
<sender>Name <email@example.com></sender>
<date>1/2/03</date>
<size>640 KB</size>
<read>0</read>
</message>
</imapmail>
I'm accessing it with this javascript:
var sender =
xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName("sender").item(0).firstChild.data;
I ultimately want to user to see that the sender is "Name
<email@example.com>". With the way the XML file is currently set up
(sender is Name <email@example.com>), the only that shows up
on the javascript end is Name. Is the way I'm storing it in my XML file
the best way to be doing it?

From javascript, I am opening a popup window and requesting a url, which sends a xml as a response to the popup window. From this javascript, I want to read that xml content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<aaa>
<vvvv><![CDATA[1]]></vvvv>
</aaa>
I tried
del_window=window.open("http://abc.com/_xmlservice","","width=1,height=1");
var ele = del_window.document.documentElement; //this is returning "HTML"
...
and
del_window.document.getElementsByTagName("xxx")
But nothing worked out.

Is there a way to download another web page using javascript and read
through it.
I am not too concerned with displaying the web page just downloading
it. Has anyone done anything like this? the closest I have found was a
procedure used by grease monkey "GM_xmlhtt" which is what I am looking
for.

Now, I am not talking about some kind of malicious coding, or spyware writing by any means, but I do need it to be able to read the cookies from a site other than my own. At least I think this is what is required. What I am trying to accomplish is this; I have a stats package setup on a different domain than my live website and I am using it to track the stats of the users on my site other than paying for stats service through some other company, and it seems to be working just as I need it to, only I would like for it to be able to do a little bit more. Right now, all it is capturing form the user is their IP address, browser information and host information on their ISP. But, I would like for it to be able do more. I would like for it to be able to retrieve certain cookies generated by a different site and show me the information in which the cookies hold... I am not talking about displaying passwords or any such thing like that, I just need certain information.

I create a cookie which contains a font size. My page content increases or decreases in size on each click event of the links that trigger a function. I have round this value up so it is always an integer value and store it inside a cookie called 'fontSize'.
I am using the following code to set the font size of the page that is loaded to be set at the value of the cookie but it never works, my page font size always reverts back to the standard font size set in my style sheet.
I am using the same code below to change the background colour of the web page and this works fine!
if(readCookie('fontSize')) {
$('body').css('font-size', readCookie('fontSize'));

The IE developer toolbar's DOM inspector shows the OBJECT tag and the PARAM
tags inside it, and if I don't have the Javascript in an external file, I'll
get the "click here to activate" tooltip and the border around what is
supposed to be the Flash movie. If I right-click inside the border, I get the
Flash context menu. The movie just doesn't load.
<html><head><title>foo</title>
<script>
function foo() {
AXObject = document.createElement("object");
AXObject.type="application/x-shockwave-flash";
AXObject.data="flashtest.swf";
AXObject.width="200";
AXObject.height="50";
AXObject.style.visibility="visible";
var p=document.createElement("param");
p.name="movie";
p.value="flashtest.swf";
AXObject.appendChild(p);
var p=document.createElement("param");
p.name="quality";
p.value="high";
AXObject.appendChild(p);
document.body.appendChild(AXObject);
}
</script>
