Ajax Example

The AJAX application above contains one div section and one button.

The div section will be used to display information returned from a server. The button calls a function named loadXMLDoc(), if it is clicked:

<html>
<body>

<div id=”myDiv”><h2>Let AJAX change this text</h2></div>
<button type=”button” onclick=”loadXMLDoc()”>Change Content</button>

</body>
</html>

Next, add a <script> tag to the page’s head section. The script section contains the loadXMLDoc() function:

<head>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function loadXMLDoc()
{
…. AJAX script goes here …
}
</script>
</head>


<html>
<head>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function loadXMLDoc()
{
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject(“Microsoft.XMLHTTP”);
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
document.getElementById(“myDiv”).innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}
xmlhttp.open(“GET”,”ajax_info.txt”,true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id=”myDiv”><h2>Let AJAX change this text</h2></div>
<button type=”button” onclick=”loadXMLDoc()”>Change Content</button>
</body>
</html>

<html><head><script type=”text/javascript”>function loadXMLDoc(){if (window.XMLHttpRequest)  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();  }else  {// code for IE6, IE5  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject(“Microsoft.XMLHTTP”);  }xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()  {  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)    {    document.getElementById(“myDiv”).innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;    }  }xmlhttp.open(“GET”,”ajax_info.txt”,true);xmlhttp.send();}</script></head><body>
<div id=”myDiv”><h2>Let AJAX change this text</h2></div><button type=”button” onclick=”loadXMLDoc()”>Change Content</button>
</body></html>
