Here is a new AjaxCFC just released! http://www.robgonda.com/blog/index.cfm

Do you think you could re-do your example with this in less code?

Also, you may want to point out that Prototype is not necessary to perform AJAX functions, it simply has some javascript functions that help make AJAX programming a bit easier.

This tutorial is awesome, thanks for it, I'll definitely put it to use.

As the seaside site says: "Seaside is a framework for developing sophisticated web applications in Smalltalk." There are other much better web application frameworks in languages with a smaller learning curve and much more usage on the net (reusable skills) that do the same encapsulation as seaside.

Or you could just learn some javascript and html. :)

from: $F('zipResult') = "Error";

to: $('zipResult').innerHTML = "Error";

I enjoyed the tutorial.

Thanks, Kris

$F() is a function that interacts with the value of the named form element. If the 'zipResult' element was a form element, then the original code would work.

A good reference for prototype.js can be found here: http://www.sergiopereira.com/articles/prototype.js.html

Can I Use Ajax for live streaming of data from stock market for trading.

Regards jais

After reading your site with the ajax tutorial, I was trying to change the GET method to a POST method.

I am not sure why the following doesn't work, I apprecipate your insight to solving this problem

// the ajax script var url = "process.php"; http.open("POST", url, true); ... // then in the html form, i use method="post" and have a input field with 'username' as id and name.

in the process.php <? $username = $_POST['username']; ?>

But whenever I use the POST in the ajax script, I can't get anything in the username

I can only do it with a GET (as in your example in the webpage)

// the ajax script var username = ...; var url = "process.php?param="; http.open("POST", url + username, true);

I will apprecipate if you can tell me what's wrong with the POST

Thank you Edmund

this is great!!! really nice peace of code!

does it work with old versions browsers? Where can i get a list of browsers and verstions that work with this?

I tested with: Mozilla 1.7.12 -> OK! Mozilla 1.6 -> OK! IE 7 beta 2 -> OK! IE 5 -> it do not works :( i get javascripts bugs

Even i had the same problem with GET AND POST.

Found a solution;

var req;

function validate() { if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { req = new XMLHttpRequest(); } else if (window.ActiveXObject) { req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } }

function complete() { req.onreadystatechange = processRequest; req.open("POST", "a.php", true); req.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'); req.send("searchmode=basic&primelocation=Colombo"); }

function processRequest() { if (req.readyState == 4) { if (req.status == 200) { var msg = req.responseText; alert(msg); } } }

when its post you dont send the parameters in the url.

Cheers, LDM

I can't seem to get it to work otherwise, but want to optimize if it help speed up response, lower overhead.

I tried to rewrite this in PHP (version 4) but I get a javascript error "Object Expected"

Any thoughts?

In fact, I try to set session variables with my external page ($_SESSION['offset']=$_GET['offset'];), this page does receive GET informations since echo $_SESSION['offset'] works but this seems to keep local since no change appear on my first page. Thanks for helping.

In details:

For your main page in the Javascript: var yourvalue1= document.getElementById("yourdiv").yourvalue1.value; var yourvalue2= document.getElementById("yourdiv").yourvalue2.value; var params = 'yourvalue1=' + yourvalue1 + '&yourvalue2=' + yourvalue2 (and more if you want); var url = 'ajax-response.php'; (...)

For "ajax-response.php": <? session_start(); $_SESSION['yourvalue1']=$_GET['yourvalue1']; $_SESSION['yourvalue2']=$_GET['yourvalue2']; ?>

My problem remains: the main page doesn't see the new values without refreshing it! If someone could help, I'd be very pleased!

Or you could just learn some javascript and html. :)

----- You're totally wrong here. Smalltalk has the shortest learning curve possible. Check out the BNF and semantics with two or three smalltalks (Squeak, VisualWorks, Dolphin) before writing.

<?php $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'db_username', 'db_pass'); if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } $db_selected = mysql_select_db('your_db_name', $link); if (!$db_selected) { die ('Can not use this db: ' . mysql_error()); }

$sql = "SELECT * FROM zipcodes WHERE zip = '$_REQUEST[zip]'"; $result=mysql_query($sql); $num = mysql_num_rows($result); if($num > 0) { while($thiszip=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "<span class=\"goodzip\">$thiszip[city], $thiszip[state]</span>"; } } else { echo "<span class=\"badzip\">Zip Code Not Found</span>"; } ?>

if you 'POST' the data to a .asp how do you fetch it with that asp?

hahaha... you can try on PHP 5 or 4.

<?php $zipcode=$_REQUEST["zip"]; $cn=mysql_pconnect("localhost","root","mysql") or die( mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("ajax",$cn);

$sql="select * from zipcodes where zip=$zipcode"; $rs=mysql_query($sql,$cn);

if(mysql_num_rows($rs)>0){ $row=mysql_fetch_array($rs); print "<div class='goodzip'>$zipcode is in ".$row["city"].",".$row["state"]."</div>"; }else{ print "<div class='badzip'>$zipcode Zip code not found.</div>"; }

?>

<?php function connectdb() { $mysqluser="USER"; $mysqlpasswd="PASS"; $mysqlhost="LOCALHOST"; $dbname="DBNAME";

$connID = mysql_connect($mysqlhost, $mysqluser, $mysqlpasswd); if ($connID) { mysql_select_db($dbname); return $connID; } else exit(); }

if($zip!="" && is_numeric($zip)) { $connID=connectdb(); $q=mysql_query("SELECT city, state FROM zipcodes WHERE zip=$zip"); $r=mysql_fetch_array($q); if($r) { echo "<div class=\"goodzip\">$r[0], $r[1]</div>"; } else echo "<div class=\"badzip\">Zip code not found.</div>"; mysql_close($connID); } else echo "<div class=\"badzip\">Please enter a valid zip code.</div>"; ?>

$sql="SELECT * FROM something WHERE somethingone='$input1' AND somethingtwo='$input2'"; $rs=mysql_query($sql,$cn);

<script src="dist/prototype.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script> <script language="javascript"> // JavaScript Document function ajaxFunction(industry_id) { var user_id = $F('user_id'); var url = 'js_select_industry.php'; var pars = 'user_id=' + user_id + '&industry_id=' + industry_id; var ajax = new Ajax.Request( url, { method: 'get', parameters: pars, onComplete: showResponse }); } function showResponse(originalRequest) { $F('display_here') = originalRequest.responseText; } </script>

Try changing it to $F('display_here').innerHTML = originalRequest.responseText;

a page with textbox and an iframe.

the iframe defaults to a basic index holding page.

the user enters his mailbox name eg fred

this then opens the following url http://10.0.0.3/exchange/ and adds the variable onto the end

http://10.0.0.3/exchange/fred

please note the site is running off the following url http://10.0.0.2 so its a completely different url.

Is it even possible to change the parent url of the iframe. I hope you guys can help you sound brainy enough.

I am building a new site in Hebrew using prototype.js Everything works fine, but not the new Ajax.Request('./nextPage.php', {method:'post',.... In nextPage.php I get strange character although I added header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=WINDOWS-1255'); in the start of the PHP.

Do you know if and how I can specify the Ajax.Request to use charset=WINDOWS-1255?

Thanks and Best regards, Eylon

The site which I am building: http://www.yaldut.com

Thanks.

function reportError(request) { $F('zipResult').innerHTML = "Error"; }

index.php?id=12&action=default

and the php file will just echo the $_GET variables...

I do a sql query to the controller.php of my component. The function returns a joomla select $result=JHTML::_('select.genericlist'..., that it has a very big size (more than 10000 characters).

My problem is, if I do an echo $result, also appears the restant controller code (toolbar, body, etc.), instead only select.

The normal solution is to redirect to a new php page, and do an echo $result in that page. This allows print only the code of the select. But I can´t do this, because I can´t pass the variable in the request (it´s too big).

Someone have a solution?

Thanks
