Guys,
I was going through the book called Ajax for Dummies and got the following example.
<html>
<head>
<title>Ajax at work</title>
<script language = "javascript">
var XMLHttpRequestObject = false;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
XMLHttpRequestObject = new XMLHttpRequest();
} else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
XMLHttpRequestObject = new ActiveXObject(“Microsoft.XMLHTTP”);
}
function getData(dataSource, divID)
{
if(XMLHttpRequestObject) {
var obj = document.getElementById(divID);
XMLHttpRequestObject.open(“GET”, dataSource);
XMLHttpRequestObject.onreadystatechange = function()
{
if (XMLHttpRequestObject.readyState == 4 &&
XMLHttpRequestObject.status == 200) {
obj.innerHTML = XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText;
}
}
XMLHttpRequestObject.send(null);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<H1>Fetching data with Ajax</H1>
<form>
<input type = "button" value = "Display Message"
onclick = "getData('http://localhost:8090/jsp-examples/dates/data.txt',
'targetDiv')">
</form>
<div id="targetDiv">
<p>The fetched data will go here.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
It requires me to put a data file which exists in http://localhost:8090/jsp-examples/dates/data.txt
But when i execute i get errors.
Not able to figure out why.
Error in IE is
Line: 32
Char: 1
Error: Object Expected
Code: 0
URL: http://localhost:8090/jsp-examples/dates/index.html
Error in firefox is:
getData is not defined
