RE: [NF] HOWTO:Any ajax gurus out there?
I'm trying to use some ajax to keep my browsers clean, but it ain't
happening. I guess I may need to use comet instead!
Here's the xmlfile I'm trying to use to populate a combobox in a webpage and
the xml gets returned, but I can't get the nodes to show up.
>From a sample I found on the internet
What the Butler Saw
Joe Orton
1969
The Ideal Husband
Oscar Wilde
1895
What I want to happen is when the browser opens, in the body onload, I call
an ajax function to grab the data, then fill an existing combobox. Here's
the syntax I'm using that is actually getting the data, and will display the
xml in an alert. It just won't show any of the nodes.
ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
responseText= ajaxRequest.responseText;
document.myForm.officials1.value = ajaxRequest.responseText; // this will
fill a text box with the xml
alert(ajaxRequest.responseText);//works
var myrequest= ajaxRequest.responseXML; //works
alert(myrequest.getElementsByTagName("PLAYS")[0].text); // doesn't work
Anyone?

Thanks, I finally got it worked out. I also had to change the
response.header content type to application/xml.
