Hello
I am learning Ajax and I am following the tutorials found but for some reason, my code is not working. I think I am missing something in the code that I am posting below. Please have a look and let me know.
[HTML]<html>
<head>
<script>
function submitForm()
{
var test;
try { test = new ActiveXObject(' Msxml2.XMLHTTP' ); }
catch (e)
{
try { test = new ActiveXObject(' Microsoft.XMLHT TP'); }
catch (e2)
{
try { test = new XMLHttpRequest( ); }
catch (e3) { test = false; }
}
}
test.onreadysta techange = function()
{
if(test.readySt ate == 4)
{
if(test.status == 200)
document.form1. pingtext=test.r esponseText;
else
document.form1. pingtext=test.s tatus;
}
};
test.open(GET, "ping_test.php" , true);
test.send(null) ;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<FORM method="POST" name="form1" action="">
<INPUT type="BUTTON" value="Ping the machine" onclick="submit Form()">
<INPUT type="text" name="pingtext" value="">
</FORM>
</body>
</html>[/HTML]
The ping_test.php has the following code:
[PHP]<?php
$ec =`ping 127.0.0.1`;
echo "<pre> $ec </pre>";
?>[/PHP]
What I want to do is to take an IP Address from the user and ping it. And show the ping results in a div or a textarea on the html page itself without going to another page. But to test, I am using 127.0.0.1 and pinging it. But when I click on Submit - It says Error on Page. I don't know the correct syntax. Can someone let me know where I am going wrong, please?
If someone can tell me how to take user input and pass it also? I just want to learn how to use it on a beginner level.
Thank you.
