  • 0

i am practicing AJAX, in that i written a code to get the text from a file in server and if it is “0” print”zero” or print “one” if error print “not connected”. but something went wrong dont know what only getting not connected even if it is connected..

here is the code:

<html>
<head>
<title>LogIN</title>
<script>
function verify()
            {           
            var xml;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xml=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xml=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
   xml.onreadystatechange=function()
       {
       if (xml.readyState==4 && xml.status==200)
        {
            var res=xml.responseText();
            if(res.equals("0"))
            {
                document.write("zero");
            }
            else
            {
            document.write("one");
            }
        }
        else
            document.write("Not connected");
        }
  xml.open("GET", "log_verify.txt", true);
  xml.send();
}
function login()
{
//action to login
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
User name : <input type="text" name="uname" onblur="verify()">
<br>
Pwd    : <input type="password" name="passwd" >
<br>
<input type="button" name="Login" value="Login" onclick="login()">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Getting the output as

Not connectedNot connectedNot connected

but when i just display the response text it gets printed correctly as per the code below

<html>
<head>
<title>LogIN</title>
<script>
function verify()
            {           
            var xml;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xml=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xml=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
   xml.onreadystatechange=function()
  {
  if (xml.readyState==4 && xml.status==200)
    {
       document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML+=xml.responseText;
    }
  } 
  xml.open("GET", "log_verify.txt", true);
  xml.send();
}
function login()
{
//action to login
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
User name : <input type="text" name="uname" onblur="verify()">
<br>
Pwd    : <input type="password" name="passwd" >
<br>
<input type="button" name="Login" value="Login" onclick="login()">
</form>
<div id="myDiv"><h2>Response text:</h2></div>
</body>
</html>

    First,

        else
        document.write("Not connected");

    is executed whenever the state changes and it the statusses aren’t 4 and 200. It does not necessarily mean Not connected. You could just remove that part. You are currently seeing it three times as the status changes from 0 to 1 to 2 to 3 (and 4 but that doesn’t go to the else).

    Secondly, you are using .equals but this function is not natively available and you also don’t have it defined. Are you looking for:

     if(res == "0")

    == is the equality operator. And,

    res = xml.responseText;

    it is not a function so you should not append ().
