ajax problem

Apr 18th, 2009
Hi,

I am trying to implement the following ajax code:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  
  2. function create()
  3. {
  4.  
  5. 	obj_t = new XMLHttpRequest();
  6. 	if(obj_t == null)
  7. 	{
  8.  
  9. 		alert("Your broweser does not support it");
  10. 	}
  11.  
  12. }
  13.  
  14. function data()
  15. {
  16.  
  17. 	if(obj_t!=null)
  18. 		{
  19.  
  20. 			if(obj_t.readyState == 4)
  21. 			{
  22.  
  23. 				var dv = document.getElementById('tdetail');
  24. 				dv.innerHTML = obj_t.responseText;
  25.  
  26.  
  27. 			}
  28.  
  29. 		}
  30. }
  31.  
  32. function createRequest(id)
  33. {
  34.  
  35. 	obj_t.open("GET","functions/travellerdetail.php?tid="+id,true);
  36. 	obj_t.onreadystatechange = data;
  37. 	obj_t.send(null);
  38.  
  39. }
  40.  
  41.  
  42. function showdetail(tid)
  43. {
  44.  
  45. 	create();
  46. 	createRequest(tid);
  47.  
  48. }

I have called the showdetail function a link click and passed it's id. The problem is that the dv is not updated data. Is there any problem with the link?

Thanks for your time.

This should be in the JavaScript forum but from looking at your code quickly it seems ok but you need to make sure the browser your using supports creating your XMLHttpRequest object like you do. The following code is taken from a project of mine which I know works feel free to try it out and see if its working in place of your code.

javascript Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. var createXmlHttpRequest = function() {
  2.     var x;
  3.     try {
  4.         x = new XMLHttpRequest();
  5.     } catch(ex) {
  6.         try {
  7.             x = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
  8.         } catch(ex2) {
  9.             try {
  10.                 x = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  11.             } catch(ex3) {
  12.                 x = false;
  13.             }
  14.         }
  15.     }
  16.     if(x) { return x; } else { return false; }
  17. };
  18.  
  19. var createUniqueUrl = function(url) {
  20.     return url + (url.indexOf('?') !== -1 ? '' : '?') + '&$=' + new Date().getTime();
  21. };
  22.  
  23. var ajax = function(url, id) {
  24.     var xmlHttp = createXmlHttpRequest();
  25.     if(xmlHttp) {
  26.         xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
  27.             if(xmlHttp.readyState === 4) {
  28.                 var data = xmlHttp.responseText;
  29.             }
  30.         };
  31.         url = createUniqueUrl(url + '?id=' + id);
  32.         xmlHttp.open('GET', url, true);
  33.         xmlHttp.send(null);
  34.     }
  35. };

Thanks for your reply.

Mine code was also working fine. I have checked by alert that it reaches on state 4 and displays data, but the data vanishes after state 4. First it shows state 2 then 3 , then 4 and then 1. Why the div is not holding the data permanently?

you have alerted the 'obj_t.responseText' value and it definately is returning text ? Also do you have an element in the page with ID 'tdetail'. If so can you post your pages HTML as there may be a problem elsewhere

First of all if the document is (X)Html then your link tag needs to be closed.

Secondly the script tag REQUIRES you to specify its type.

You also need a closing </body> and </html> tag at the end of the document. Ive taken your script and reformatted it, try the following.

The inner html of div is changed at state 4 but then vanishes at 1, why the states has sequence of 2,3,4 and then except of having the correct sequence of 1,2,3,4
