Printin values in the text boxes

[Dheeraj Joshi]

Hi i have a problem.

I have 7 text boxex with different id's. I want to run a script via AJAX and i want to populate the result of the script in to these text boxes.

The code is

function show(id)
{
    id1=id;
 
    xmlhttp=GetXmlHttpObject();
 
    if (xmlhttp==null)
    {
        alert ("Your browser does not support AJAX!");
        return;
    }
 
    var url="index.php";
 
    xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged;
    xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
    xmlhttp.send(null);
 
}
 
function GetXmlHttpObject()
{
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
    {
        // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
        return new XMLHttpRequest();
    }
    if (window.ActiveXObject)
    {
        // code for IE6, IE5
        return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }
    return null;
}
function stateChanged()
{
 
    if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 )
    {
        if(xmlhttp.status==200)
        {
            form.elements[id1].value=xmlhttp.responseText;
        }
        else
        {
            alert("Danger");
        }
    }
}
 
 
 
 

This script basically call a php script and i displays the value in to text boxes.

When i run this script it displays the value in the last text box only. All other text boxes are empty.

Can any one assist me in this problem?

Updation.

function takes a argument id, which is basically text box id. I am reading it from a xml file and calling it.

code is:

function ajaxcall()
{
    var xmlDoc = callXML();
    var length = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("pname").length;
 
 
    for(var i=0;i<length;i++)
 
    {
 
        var id=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("pname")[i].getAttribute("id");
        alert(id);
        show(id);
 
    }
 
}
 

so. When i place that alert intact after clicking ok for alert message it disalplays value in text box. if i remove it it will dislay the value in last text box.

just a question, are your IDs unique?

[Dheeraj Joshi]

No they are not unique..

[Dormilich]

that’s why you have the problem. Ids MUST be unique.

[Dheeraj Joshi]

Sorry dormilich.. they are unique.....

[Dormilich]

do you have a page, where I can have a look at the whole thing?

[Dheeraj Joshi]

Sorry... I cant give the link.

It is working fine in IE but not in FF.. Why this dependency...?

Is there any other way to takle it?

@dheerajjoshim
check the Error Console and the script with FireBug (Firefox debugger add-on) (that’s what I’d have made otherwise)

FF is right, IE is wrong (just as Doc)

Please make sure your code validates here:

FF right IE wrong? In what sense?

[Dormilich]

@dheerajjoshim
in the standards sense (which is pretty much everything when it comes to web development)

[dlite922]

@dheerajjoshim
I should have elaborated a little more:

If FF is not displaying something right, but IE is = your code is wrong (not up to standard)
If IE is not, but FF is = your code maybe right but needs a IE hack/workaround.
