Hello everyone,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I'm trying to implement an AJAX inline editor and am having some trouble. I want to use this editing field several times on
the same page, and was hoping to make the JavaScript reusable, passing
it the name of the fields that need to change, but I'm having some
trouble. In particular, I'm having trouble here:
------------
function sndReq(action) {
http.open('get' , action);
http.onreadysta techange = handleResponse;
http.send(null) ;
}
function handleResponse( ) {
if(http.readySt ate == 4){
var replaceText = document.getEle mentById(name_t extbox).value;
document.getEle mentById('name_ displaybox_cont ents').innerHTM L = replaceText;
document.getEle mentById('name_ displaybox').st yle.display = '';
document.getEle mentById('name_ editingbox').st yle.display = 'none';
}
}
------------
My thought was that at the <http.onreadyst atechange = handleResponse; >
line I could pass the value of the field element I'm using on to the
handleResponse function and then use it to swap out the
getElementByIds so that I wouldn't need to replicate all this code for
the different chunks I'm swapping out. However, the http.readyState
is making things difficult for me; for some reason, if I pass a
variable on to handleResponse, the "if (http.readyStat e == 4)" doesn't get
tripped.
Does this make any sense? I don't know, because it doesn't make sense to me either. If you could help me out I'd be greatly in your debt!

Hi mikemcleod welcome to TSDN,
since it wasn't posted i think u forgot to do this: -
var http;
-
function sndReq(action)
-
{
-
http = GetXmlHttpObject();
-
http.open('get', action);
-
http.onreadystatechange = handleResponse;
-
http.send(null);
-
}
-
function GetXmlHttpObject()
-
{
-
var xmlHttp=null;
-
try
-
{
-
// Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari
-
xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
-
}
-
catch (e)
-
{
-
// Internet Explorer
-
try
-
{
-
xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
-
}
-
catch (e)
-
{
-
try
-
{
-
xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
-
}
-
catch(e)
-
{
-
xmlHttp=null;
-
}
-
}
-
}
-
return xmlHttp;
-
}
-
good luck
Hi epots9,
Thanks for your message. I didn't post the part of my code where I open the XMLHttpRequest because I didn't think it was directly relevant to my problem.
The problem is that, when I modify the code I posted earlier to pass a variable on to the handleResponse function like this:
-----------------------
function sndReq(action, formelement) {
http.open('get' , action);
http.onreadysta techange = handleResponse( formelement);
http.send(null) ;
}
function handleResponse( divVariable) {
if(http.readySt ate == 4){
var replaceText = document.getEle mentById(divVar iable).value;
document.getEle mentById(divVar iable).innerHTM L = replaceText;
}
}
-----------------------
the "if(http.readyS tate == 4)" condition does not get tripped - when I don't pass the variable, as in the first script example I posted, the script works just fine, but I have to put the full name of the div into the getElementById function.
Totally baffled. Any help is much appreciated!

what is the variable "formelemen t"? u're receiving it in the sndReq function, what is it? posts its html code and how your sedning it to the sndReq function.

Hello all,
I use the following javascript function in a html document to set the
level of one of eight available radiobuttons. The line that's
commented out works fine under IE, but I need to rewrite it so that
it's W3C compliant. Reading through earlier messages I concluded I
should go with getElementById but this doesn't work. What am I doing
wrong?
Your help is much appreciated.

Hi Everyone,
Is it faster to save the precise location of an html dom node into a
variable in js, or to use getElementById everytime you need to access
the node?
I want to make my application as fast as possible. I have about 10-20
id tags that need to be accessed and modified from time to time. Would
the jvm perform slowly if I stored all of the dom node strings
"document.node.child...." into a huge js array?

Hi,
I know the 'document.getElementById()' issue is really over since every
browser since 1998 supports the W3C DOM standard, but I could not resist
this offering :-
if (!document.getElementById)
document.getElementById = function(id) { return document.all; }
This should then provide a getElementById function if one does not already

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
