  • 0

I am a newbie to ASP.NET and Ajax. I am trying to implement a sample application that updates web form without Postback. On click, my application sends request to its server using XMLHttpRequestModule and shows the data received through an alert window.

I think the problem might be that default.aspx.cs page is not giving the httpRequest.responseText to its webform.

cf. sendRequest method is in XMLHttpRequestModule to check the compatibility with browsers and send a request using the specified parameters and methods.

Any help is much appreciated.

Default.aspx

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="XMLHttpRuquestModule.htm"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

    function helloToServer() {
        var params = "name=" + encodeURIComponent(document.form.name.value);
        sendRequest("Default.aspx", params, helloFromServer, "POST");
    }

    function helloFromServer() {
        if (httpRequest.readyState == 4) {
            if (httpRequest.status == 200) {
                alert("Response: " + httpRequest.responseText);
            }
        }
    }

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name ="form" runat="server">
<input type="text" name="name" />
<input type="button" value="enter" onclick="helloToServer()" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Default.aspx.cs

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    String name = Request["name"];
    Response.Write(name);
    return;
}
}

XMLHttpRequestModule

<head>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var httpRequest = null;

    function getXMLHttpRequest() {
        if (window.ActiveXObject) {
            try {
                return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
            } catch (e) {
                try {
                    return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
                } catch (e1) {
                    return null;
                }
            }
        } else if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
            return new XMLHttpRequest();
        } else {
            return null;
        }
    }

    function sendRequest(url, params, callback, method) {
        httpRequest = getXMLHttpRequest();
        var httpMethod = method ? method : 'GET';
        if (httpMethod != 'GET' && httpMethod != 'POST') {
            httpMethod = 'GET';
        }
        var httpParams = (params == null || params == '') ? null : params;
        var httpUrl = url;
        if (httpMethod == 'GET' && httpParams != null) {
            httpUrl = httpUrl + "?" + httpParams;
        }
        httpRequest.open(httpMethod, httpUrl, true);
        httpRequest.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
        httpRequest.onreadystatechange = callback;
        httpRequest.send(httpMethod == 'POST' ? httpParams : null);
    }

    In your question you mentioned a XMLHttpRequestModule that you included through the script tag: <script type="text/javascript" src="XMLHttpRuquestModule.htm"></script>. XMLHttpRuquestModule.htm has spelling error in it (‘Ruquest’ instead of ‘Request’), maybe that is causing your error.

    Also note that including an htm file in the script will only work if there is JavaScript in that file and no actual html.

    EDIT:

    This is with reference to our exchange in the comments section.

    I have managed to get hold of a ASP.NET server, ran the Ajax code against an ASPX page exactly like yours and everything is still okay. The alert box is still popping the correct response.

    The difference is that, as originally suggested, I have renamed your XMLHttpRuquestModule.htm to XMLHttpRuquestModule.js and removed all markup from within it.

    I am copying all the code here, try pasting it exactly and then running it:

    HTML File(testXhr.htm):

    <html>
    <head>
    <title></title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="XMLHttpRequestModule.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">

        function helloToServer() {
            var params = "name=" + encodeURIComponent(document.form.name.value);
            sendRequest("Default.aspx", params, helloFromServer, "POST");
        }

        function helloFromServer() {
            if (httpRequest.readyState == 4) {
                if (httpRequest.status == 200) {
                    alert("Response: " + httpRequest.responseText);
                }
            }
        }

    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <form name ="form" runat="server">
            <input type="text" name="name" />
            <input type="button" value="enter" onclick="helloToServer()" />
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

    JavaScript File(XMLHttpRequestModule.js):

    var httpRequest = null;

function getXMLHttpRequest() {
    if (window.ActiveXObject) {
        try {
            return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
        } catch (e) {
            try {
                return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
            } catch (e1) {
                return null;
            }
        }
    } else if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
        return new XMLHttpRequest();
    } else {
        return null;
    }
}

function sendRequest(url, params, callback, method) {
    httpRequest = getXMLHttpRequest();
    var httpMethod = method ? method : 'GET';
    if (httpMethod != 'GET' && httpMethod != 'POST') {
        httpMethod = 'GET';
    }
    var httpParams = (params == null || params == '') ? null : params;
    var httpUrl = url;
    if (httpMethod == 'GET' && httpParams != null) {
        httpUrl = httpUrl + "?" + httpParams;
    }
    httpRequest.open(httpMethod, httpUrl, true);
    httpRequest.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
    httpRequest.onreadystatechange = callback;
    httpRequest.send(httpMethod == 'POST' ? httpParams : null);
}
