Hi, please help me on this.
Here i am having a simple form that consist with name and email fields and both are required fields.
i am going to validate this inputs using validate.php.
but since i am since i am using responseText object i couldn't display the error message for corresponding fields.
That means if name is blank error should appers in <span id="output_name ">
if email is blank error should appers in <span id="output_emai l">

and one more problem the loading message is not removing from the page.

here is my coding.

[HTML] <html>
<head>
<title>Sample Ajax</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><style type="text/css">
<!--
body,td,th {
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 11px;
}
.style1 {color: #FF0000}
-->
</style></head>

<script language="javas cript">
window.onerror = function(msg, err_url, line) {alert('Unknown Error :) ' + line);}
function makeObject()
{
var x;
var browser = navigator.appNa me;
if(browser == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
{
x = new ActiveXObject(" Microsoft.XMLHT TP");
}else
{
x = new XMLHttpRequest( );
}
return x;
}

var request = makeObject();
function post_method()
{
var name = sample_form.nam e.value;
var email = sample_form.ema il.value;
request.open('p ost', 'validate.php') ;
request.setRequ estHeader('Cont ent-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
request.onready statechange = output;
request.send('n ame='+name+'&em ail='+email);
}
function output()
{
if(request.read yState == 1)
{
document.getEle mentById('load_ msg').innerHTML = 'Loading...';
}
if(request.read yState == 4)
{
var errors = request.respons eText;
document.getEle mentById('outpu t_name').innerH TML = errors;
}
}
</script>

<body>
<DIV id="load_msg"> </DIV>
<form action="" method="post" name="sample_fo rm" id="sample_form ">
Name : <input type="text" name="name"><sp an id="output_name " class="style1"> * </span><BR>
Email : <input type="text" name="email"><s pan id="output_emai l" class="style1"> * </span><br>
<input type="button" name="Button" value="Submit" onClick="post_m ethod()">
</form>
</body>

</html>[/HTML]

validate.php

[PHP] <?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
if (stripslashes($ name) == "" )
{
echo 'Name Cannot be left Blank';
}
if (stripslashes($ email) == "" )
{
echo 'Email Cannot be left Blank';
}

?>
[/PHP]

Parse the response, e.g. add a delimiter such as "::", then use that to split the response.

As for your loading message, just set it to empty when the readystate is 4.

Why not just do the checking client-side? This is simple form validation. You don't need to use Ajax for that.

Hey Folks, I'm having a heck of a time wrapping mind around AJAX. Anyone know of a simple, straight-forward example for pulling a simple query from mysql with PHP using AJAX? As I understand it I need a PHP script that pulls the query and dumps the data into XML format, that is called by triggering a javascript event that reads that file with XMLhttprequest.
