Hi,
I am using AJAX and coldfusion, and am having trouble getting some
alerts to work. I am using the http object in javascript:
var url="add_item.c fm"
oXmlHttpadditem =GetHttpObject( addStateChanged );
oXmlHttpadditem .open("GET",url ,true);
oXmlHttpadditem .send(null);
then, in add_item.cfm, I am just using:
<script type="text/javascript">win dow.alert("Hell o World\n");</script>
but the alert isn't being displayed. I assume this has to do with
client-side/server-side issues, but can someone please clarify why
this doesn't work, and perhaps offer a fix or alternative solution?
thanks in advance. 2 3152

Because it is not code that is parsed by the user agent.

That depends on what exactly you are trying to accomplish here.

not parsed by the user agent? Sorry, I don't know what you mean by
that.
the idea is, additem.cfm alters a database, and I would like to alert
the user when/if there are errors.
thanks.

So your server-side application should return an error status code (see
RFC1945 and RFC2616) when that happens, the client-side application should
evaluate the status code, and display the alert window if the status code
is an error code.
The alternative is that the server-side application serves content that is
clearly marked as being an error message, and the client-side application
should handle that accordingly.

As a test, I initially wrote two versions:

Hi,
I am in a mouseup event for button A and I'd like to disable=false button B
before starting some work. Is there anyway that an event for button B can
then fire before my event processing for button A's mouseup has completed?
I beleive event processing to be single-threaded for good reason but I need
a "stop" button and it's no good if it doesn't do anything until the other
processing has finished :-)

Hi All,
I've got a question about Asynchronous vs Synchronous mode with the
XMLHttpRequest object. What are the ramifications of using one mode
vs the other? If the script uses Asynchronous mode, it sounds as if a
thread retrieves the data from the supplied URL and the JS function
that called the open() and send() methods continues on. Where as
using Synchronous mode the method that called open() and send() waits
until the data from...

Hello everyone here.
This is my first post in this newsgroup, I hope I won't be to much
off-topic. Feel free to redirect me to any better group.
I am getting strange timing issues when failing to asynchronously connect
sockets on closed or filtered ports, but I'm quite unsure if this is a PHP
issue or my misunderstanding, as it seems that socket streams only wrap
around <sys/socket.h>.

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