Evaluate string in javascript/AJAX

[peace2007]

Hi,

I need to evaluate the return result of a function from Server.aspx as following. But it doesn't work as I need

function getAjax()
{
    var XmlHttp;    
    //Creating object of XMLHTTP in IE
    try
    {
        XmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
    }
    catch(e)
    {
        try
        {
            XmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
        } 
        catch(oc)
        {
            XmlHttp = null;
        }
    }
    //Creating object of XMLHTTP in Mozilla and Safari 
    if(!XmlHttp && typeof XMLHttpRequest != "undefined") 
    {
        XmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    }    
    return XmlHttp;
}
function GetBanType()
{    
   rnd++;
 
    url = 'Server.aspx?action=GetBan&session=' + rnd ;
    var re = getAjax();
 
    re.onreadystatechange = function(){    
        if( re.readyState == 4 && re.status == 200 ) 
        {        
            if(re.responseText != "")
            {            
                if (re.responseText == "special value")
                {
                            ....
 

Actually, re.responseText returns:
"Gag

 
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

"
while I'm expecting only "Gag" word.
Could I know how I can subtract only the first word of the return result? Or, is there any general solution to get a proper result from server .aspx

Any idea is appreciated.

Remember to use code tags when posting code:
[CODE=javascrip t]JS code here...[/code]

Your server-side script is displaying extra spaces and newlines. Get rid of them.

You could replace all spaces and newlines in the response too.

If the response from the server is incorrect, then the server must be coded incorrectly in some way. I could not find anything wrong with the javascript code, so check your server.aspx's code to make sure there are not any mistakes that could have caused this error.

Hope I helped!

Thanks John and acoder for replying!

I call following function in server.aspx:

private void processGetBan()
        {
            lock (syncRoot)
            {
                string user = (string)Session["username"];
                string channelname = (string)Session["channel"];
                Response.Write(Global.Engine.GetChannel(channelname).GetBanType(user));
            }
        }

in which GetBanType() returns only "Gag" without any space, etc.
Is there anything wrong with my server code?
acoder, you've written that I can replace all spaces and newlines in the response too; could you please tell me how, through a sample? I'm new in javascript/ajax code

[acoder]

Run the server-side code without Ajax and check the source code.

To remove spaces/newlines, use the string replace method.
