	XMLHttpRequest status = 0 and XMLHttpRequest statusText = unknown hi all i am new to this group can u help me with this code it is returning XMLHttpRequest status = 0 and due to this the data from a file is not being fetched iam pasting the code below <head> <title>Ajax at Work</title> <script language="javascript"> //ajax request function var XMLHttpRequestObject=false; if(window.XMLHttpRequest) { // Opera 8.0+, Firefox, Safari XMLHttpRequestObject=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else if(window.ActiveXObject) { //Internet Explorer XMLHttpRequestObject=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); } else { alert("Your Browser is not compatible"); } //function to get the data from the text file function getData(datasource,divID) { if(XMLHttpRequest ) { var obj=document.getElementById(divID); XMLHttpRequestObject.open("GET",datasource,true) ; XMLHttpRequestObject.onreadystatechange=function() { if(XMLHttpRequestObject.readyState==4 ) { alert(XMLHttpRequestObject.status); obj.innerHTML = XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText; } } } } </script> </head> <body> <H1>Welcome to Gift Selection</H1> <img src=images\titanic.jpg onmouseover="getData('text/titanic.txt','targetDiv')"> <img src=images\watch.jpg onmouseover="getData('text/watch.txt','targetDiv')"> <div id="targetDiv"> <p>Select the Picture to get the discription</p> </div> /////////////////////////////////////// the data in titanic.txt n watch.txt can be anything, it just has to retrive the data from the file n display in the same page If it is ZERO than you are using the local file system and that means success. You only get 200 when you are running on the http protocal Eric On 11/9/06, Deepanshu007 <deepanshu.shrivast@gmail.com> wrote: - Hide quoted text - > hi all > i am new to this group can u help me with this code it is returning > XMLHttpRequest status = 0 and due to this the data from a file is not > being fetched iam pasting the code below > <head> > <title>Ajax at Work</title> > <script language="javascript"> > //ajax request function > var XMLHttpRequestObject=false; > if(window.XMLHttpRequest) > { > // Opera 8.0+, Firefox, Safari > XMLHttpRequestObject=new XMLHttpRequest(); > } > else if(window.ActiveXObject) > { > //Internet Explorer > XMLHttpRequestObject=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); > } > else > { > alert("Your Browser is not compatible"); > } > //function to get the data from the text file > function getData(datasource,divID) > { > if(XMLHttpRequest ) > { > var obj=document.getElementById(divID); > XMLHttpRequestObject.open("GET",datasource,true) ; > XMLHttpRequestObject.onreadystatechange=function() > { > if(XMLHttpRequestObject.readyState==4 ) > { > alert( > XMLHttpRequestObject.status); > obj.innerHTML = > XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText; > } > } > } > } > </script> > </head> > <body> > <H1>Welcome to Gift Selection</H1> > <img src=images\titanic.jpg > onmouseover="getData('text/titanic.txt','targetDiv')"> > <img src=images\watch.jpg > onmouseover="getData('text/watch.txt','targetDiv')"> > <div id="targetDiv"> > <p>Select the Picture to get the discription</p> > </div> > /////////////////////////////////////// > the data in titanic.txt n watch.txt can be anything, it just has to > retrive the data from the file n display in the same page Looks to me liek you're not actually askign the XMLHttp to do anything. Try XMLHttpRequestObject.send(null); after declaring the onreadystatechange function. Maybe you don't need that and the open command does it just fine with GET, I dunno...
