Why does Ajax work locally but not on server?

[donald skipper]

i've created an ajax test call that works locally, but when i upload to my hosts(2 of them) i get nothing. My sample page is: Linkage to test page.

my code is as follows:

function OnLookup(element)
    {           
      var stb = document.getElementById(element);
      Encryption.Encrypt(stb.value, OnLookupComplete);
    }
 
    function OnLookupComplete(result)
    {
      var res = document.getElementById("_resultLabel");
      res.innerHTML = "<b>" + result['0'] + "</b>";
      LoadMsgs(result['0'], result['1'], result['2']);
  }
 
  function UnWork()
  {
      var msg = document.getElementById("hdMessage");
      var key = document.getElementById("hdPrivateKey");
      Encryption.Decrypt(msg.value, key.value, UnWorkComplete);
 
  }
  function UnWorkComplete(response)
  {
 
      var resX = document.getElementById("_resultLabel");
      resX.innerHTML = "<b id='reda'> This is your message: " + response + "</b>";
  }
 
    function LoadMsgs(x,y,z)
    {
 
        // Create an Option object        
        var opt = document.createElement("option");
 
        // Add an Option object to Drop Down/List Box
        document.getElementById("lstResult1").options.add(opt);
        // Assign text and value to Option object
        opt.text = x;
        opt.value = x;
        document.getElementById("hdMessage").value = x;
        // Create an Option object        
        var opt = document.createElement("option");
 
        // Add an Option object to Drop Down/List Box
        document.getElementById("lstResult2").options.add(opt);
        // Assign text and value to Option object
        opt.text = y;
        opt.value = y;
        document.getElementById("hdPrivateKey").value = y;
        // Create an Option object        
        var opt = document.createElement("option");
 
        // Add an Option object to Drop Down/List Box
        document.getElementById("lstResult3").options.add(opt);
        // Assign text and value to Option object
        opt.text = z;
        opt.value = z;
    }

Donald,

It's possible that your page is referencing the wrong URL to pull the JavaScript from.

Try entering the URL for your JavaScript in your browser, and see if it's being deployed correctly to you.

The script works fine. it's actually what gives you the message if you try the test page. The calls are made to a web service through a reference by the scriptmanager. the error occurs when the attempt is made to reach the webservice.

Have you seen this article?
Client-Side Web Service Calls with AJAX Extensions

Did you set the ScriptManager's Script ServiceReference tag to point to the correct path?

For example:

<asp:ScriptManager ID="_scriptManager" runat="server">
      <Services>
        <asp:ServiceReference 
             Path="services/StockQuoteService.asmx" />
      </Services>
</asp:ScriptManager

Yes, i've read that particular article. This current call is based on the example it contains.

[Frinavale]

So what have you set as the Path attribute?
Is it correct?

[donald skipper]

After arguing with my host on four separate occasions and rewriting this page 3 times, it's been determined that the fault lies with my host, as the file not found message i was getting seemed to be referring to a namespace that i needed for my code to work.

here is the latest revision. Current Test Page with test call to script.

[Frinavale]

Well...

I'm glad you got that sorted out but it still doesn't seem to be working properly....

[donald skipper]

godaddy still hasn't fixed it yet. According to the rep, the have to have their tech dept. develop a custom script from scratch so they can see exactly what the problem is. i linked the current test page to show that the call to the web service is properly linked and functioning.
