Question

I am trying some AJAX calls for the first time. My site is hosted on my own IIS7, (http://myUserName:8078/HomePage.aspx).

Here is the jScript.

<script type="text/javascript" src="jQuery1.4.2.js"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(LoadText);
function LoadText() {
    $("#Content1").load("data.txt");
}

“content1” is a content place holder.
My IIS is set to .net 4 too.

My problem is that the data.txt contents is never loaded. It is in the same directory as the page. I haven’t got much experience in IIS so I am wondering if I am missing a setting or something.

Thanks

I recommend you pass the ClientID and file path into the function as arguments, but the code below should work:

<script type="text/javascript" src='<%= Page.ResolveUrl("~/jQuery1.4.2.js")%>'></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
   $(document).ready(function() {
      LoadText();
   });

   function LoadText() {
       $("#<%= Content1.ClientID %>").load('<%= Page.ResolveUrl("~/data.txt")%>');
   }
</script>
