  • 0

What i am trying to do is basically run a script and post data to a page but the page is not on the server. So i dont want to run a redirect, just run a webpage in the back when the user clicks on a button?

I have tried…

    set httpRequest = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttprequest.5.1")
Dim var1

var1 = Request("username")

on error resume next
httpRequest.Open "POST", "http://www.example.com", True
httpRequest.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
httpRequest.send var1
set httpRequest = nothing

But this doesnt seem to work. So i want to built the url http://www.example.com?username and run it?

    The easiest way is to include a reference to the jQuery script libraries and use
    .ajax

    http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

    a call is simply:

    <html>
 <head>
 <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.2/jquery.min.js" ></script>
 </head>
<body>
bip
<div id="result"> results to get replaced here</div>
<div id="msg" style="color:Red">any errors will show here</div>
<input type="button" value="click me" id="loadButton" />

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

        //ensure jQuery is loaded before calling script
    $(document).ready(function () {
        alert('ready');
        $('#loadButton').click(function () {
            alert('Handler for .click() called.');
            $.ajax({
                url: 'yoursite/yourpage',
                error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
                    alert('doh an error occured. look at the error div above : )');
                    $('#msg').html(xhr.status + ' ' + thrownError); ;
                },
                data: "{'someparam':'someparamvalue','someparam2':'someparamvalue2'}",
                success: function (data) {
                    $('#result').html(data);
                    alert('Load was performed.');

                }
            });
        });
    });

</script>

</body>
</html>
