I've put together a simple script that uses the XMLHttpRequest( ) function. It works when I run it locally, but when I upload it to my web hosting account, I never get a response back. Here is what I have:
[html]
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javas cript">
var http_request = false;
function makeRequest(url , parameters) {
http_request = false;
if (window.XMLHttp Request) { // Mozilla, Safari,...
http_request = new XMLHttpRequest( );
if (http_request.o verrideMimeType ) {
// set type accordingly to anticipated content type
//http_request.ov errideMimeType( 'text/xml');
http_request.ov errideMimeType( 'text/html');
}
} else if (window.ActiveX Object) { // IE
try {
http_request = new ActiveXObject(" Msxml2.XMLHTTP" );
} catch (e) {
try {
http_request = new ActiveXObject(" Microsoft.XMLHT TP");
} catch (e) {}
}
}
if (!http_request) {
alert('Cannot create XMLHTTP instance');
return false;
}
http_request.on readystatechang e = alertContents;
http_request.op en('GET', url + parameters, true);
alert(url);
http_request.se tRequestHeader( "User-Agent","XMLHttp Request");
alert('ReadySta te ='+http_request .readyState);
http_request.se nd(null);
alert('sent the request');
alert('ReadySta te ='+http_request .readyState);
alert('Status ='+http_request .status);
}
function alertContents() {
if (http_request.r eadyState == 4) {
if (http_request.s tatus == 200) {
//alert(http_requ est.responseTex t);
result = http_request.re sponseText;
document.getEle mentById('myspa n').innerHTML = result;
} else {
alert('There was a problem connecting with the exchange rate server.');
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<br><br>
<input type="button" name="button" value="GET get.php?test=2"
onclick="javasc ript:makeReques t('http://www.webservicex .net/CurrencyConvert or.asmx/ConversionRate' , '?FromCurrency= GBP&ToCurrency= USD');">
<br><br>
<br><br>
Server-Response:<br>
<span name="myspan" id="myspan"></span>
</body>
</html>
[/html]
I've thrown in a few alert boxes for debugging, so I could see a few things that are going on. The first "ReadyState " alert box shows different results depending on whether the script is being run locally or remotely. If it is running locally, I get a ReadyState of 1. When uploaded to my hosting account, I get ReadyState=0.
Any ideas about what may be going on here?
Thanks!
Ron

Welcome to TSDN!
Could you provide a link to a test page?
Sure. Here's my test page:

Ok, I found the issue. It was a cross-domain issue. I didn't know that you can (easily) use AJAX to get data from a third-party source. I set up an application proxy to relay the data, and now everything is working. Thanks!

Glad you got it working (before I had a chance to look at it!)

I'm new at all this and I have been trying to solve this problem for a few days now!
Locally (windows running apache) all is perfect, but on my hosted server (a linux box running apache) the readyState only makes it to 2 (sent).
How did you "set up an application proxy to relay the data"? Sounds like this is something that will solve my problem, but don't quite know what it is or how to instantiate it. Thanks for any help.

The application proxy is to avoid cross-domain issues. The data is passed to a server-side script which deals with getting the results from a different domain.

I talked to our IT guy and he said that when the ajax call is used Apache (on Linux) is segfaulting. My Apache server (on Windows) doesn't have this problem at all - he's compared our server config files and they are the same.
Has anyone heard of this happening while using asynchronous calls?
thanks for any help.

Can you post some of your code? Can you access the server-side page without Ajax and does it produce the required output?

You aren't gonna believe this! It all had to do with how the directory was being written! I'm on windows testing but production server is on linux....I use backslashes for the directory structure and it wanted forward slashes...Plus, I was using php to echo javascript and the file path was getting lost in translation!
Thanks for the speedy responses and bearing with me! Hope this helps someone else at some point.
