I'm trying to pickup/teach myself AJAX - which I'll eventually wrap with PHP. I started using this tutorial: http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/default.asp I'm on a MACINTOSH using MAMP (Mac equivalent to WAMP). I've also tried this under the installed http server (via ControlPanels -> Sharing -> Personal Web Sharing). I have TWO files (named a little differently than the tutorial - but contain the same thing; essentially) - see below - (ajax.html & time.js) When I execute the code... in the Time: field... I only get '<%', instead of the time. The tutorial example (http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/ajax_serverscript.asp) functions correctly. Anybody got any ideas as to why the version running from my localhost doesn't work??? Thanks, Larr. --- ajax.html -- <body> <script type="text/javascript"> function ajaxFunction() { var xmlHttp; try { // Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } catch (e) { // Internet Explorer try { xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) { try { xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) { alert("Your browser does not support AJAX!"); return false; } } } xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=function() { if(xmlHttp.readyState==4) { document.myForm.time.value=xmlHttp.responseText; } } xmlHttp.open("GET","time.js",true); xmlHttp.send(null); } </script> <form name="myForm"> Name: <input type="text" onkeyup="ajaxFunction();" name="username" /> Time: <input type="text" name="time" /> </form> </body> </html> --- time.asp --- <% response.expires=-1 response.write(time) %>
