i unfortunately don't have the code. i can go through the episode and try and get it myself if you'd like? make sure though you are using a webserver for this, not just running it off a local file. you must be running it through apache or something.

yeah, I have run it with wamp, with no good results. I really wouldn't like to get you in the trouble of doing that just for me, thax for your help anyway.

well, being obsessive like i am, i wanted to see if it did work, so i wrote it out and chucked it on my apache server and it worked fine for me.

Sample1.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

No

    //Set default http_request to false for initiation

    var http_request = false;



    function request(url)

    {

        http_request = false;

        

        // Mozilla, Safari, Opera and all other browsers use this request

        if (window.XMLHttpRequest)

        {

            http_request = new XMLHttpRequest();

            /*

            if (http_request.overrideMimeType)

            {

                http_request.overrideMimeType('text/xml');

            }

        }//Only IE uses this, NOTE: Active X Object

        else if (window.ActiveXObject)

        {

            try

                http_request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");

            }

        }

            return false;

        }



        http_request.onreadystatechange = readyState;

        http_request.open('GET', url, true);

        http_request.send(null);

    }



    function readyState()

                var root_node = xmldoc.getElementsByTagName('root').item(0);

                alert(root_node.firstChild.data);

            }

            else

try out that, if it doesn't work it's either your web server or your browser. it works for me with apache and firefox. now, to register and chuck it on the wiki!

thank you so much, now at least I get the javascript alert messages, but I get alert number 1 repeated and on alert number 4 it gives me the exception "Error with request". ¿Could it be something with WAMP?

Edit: I uploaded it into a real server and it throws me this error using IE:

Line: 76

Char: 13

Error: Object required

Code: 0

possibly. what browser are you using?

from that code, i don't think there is anything special required on the webserver side. but then again, i'm not a web programmer. i would think it is the browser, i know a lot of browsers don't support ajax.

Can't be the browser, I've tried it both with firefox and IE. Can't be the server either. Are you sure it gives you the 4 alert messages each with different text??

ok, based upon the info you chucked in the edit it's definately the browser. i may have copied it down wrong, your browser security may be too strong or maybe it's just a newer version of IE that isn't entirely backwards compatible (as i said, i'm not a web programmer so i don't know what has changed in IE since the episode was made). hopefully someone here can help you, but in the mean time i suggest google to find some other ajax examples and see how they handle IE.

hth.

yeah mate, positive. except "1" is repeated for some reason. maybe it is the webserver then? i just tried IE 6 and it works fine for me too. i'm running apache on linux. and tried firefox on both linux and windows.

**edit**

btw, just to point something out, jon DOES specifically mention apache in the episode, so maybe it's possible there is something different between your webserver? having a different request status. try removing that if statement and the entire else block and just try and force it to run the true section, see if that works.
