Sorry if this is a duplicate post, but not sure my original posting on the topic actually went. [Don't see it on the group list]
On Mac Os X with Apache personal web server. Maybe someone else can try this. 1). Cut and paste the HTML to some place (like your DocumentRoot). 2). Be mindful of the reference to location for MochiKit.js in the HTML below 3). The utility JavaScript (Chapter15.js) can co-reside in the same folder as the HTML, as can the Python CGI script (at least I think it can; doesn't seem to make a difference) The test HTML looks like this: Foo.html ------------------------------------- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> <html> <head> <title>Demo Tag Cloud Model</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="../../../scripts/MochiKit/MochiKit.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="Chapter15.js" ></script> </head> <body> <h1>Tag Test</h1> <form name="Enter Stuff"> <label>Enter something:</label> <input id="blah" name="user" value="lucid"/> </form> <a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="DBQuery()">Click Me</a> <div id="HERE"/> </body> </html> --------------------------------------------------------------------- calls this Javascript: Chapter15.js -------------------------------------------- var xmlHttpReq = false; var gotMetadata = function (oData) { log("gotMetadata"+oData.responseText); var payload = evalJSONRequest( oData); replaceChildNodes( "HERE", P( null, payload.what)); }; var metadataFetchFailed = function (err) { alert( "The metadata for MochiKit.Async could not be fetched :"+err); }; function DBQuery() { xmlHttpReq = getXMLHttpRequest() log("got xmlHttpReq "); xmlHttpReq.open( "POST", "Chapter15.py", true); // doesn't work //xmlHttpReq.open( "GET", "Chapter15.py", true); // log("got xmlHttpReq.open OK "); xmlHttpReq.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'); log("got xmlHttpReq.setRequestHeader OK "); var d = sendXMLHttpRequest( xmlHttpReq, "blah=" + escape(getElement( "blah").value)); d.addCallbacks(gotMetadata, metadataFetchFailed); log("got xmlHttpReq.sendXMLHttpRequest OK "); } --------------------------------------------------------------------- Which in turn invokes this python cgi script: Chapter15.py------------------------------------------- #!/usr/local/bin/python import cgi form = cgi.FieldStorage() stuff = form.getfirst( "blah", "") print """ { "what": " %s" } """ % stuff --------------------------------------------------------------------- If I try a POST in Chapter15.js, then I get this series of log messages: INFO: got xmlHttpReq INFO: got xmlHttpReq.open OK INFO: got xmlHttpReq.setRequestHeader OK INFO: got xmlHttpReq.sendXMLHttpRequest OK INFO: The metadata for MochiKit.Async could not be fetched :MochiKit.Async.XMLHttpRequestError("Request failed") If I try a GET , then the log traces show: INFO: got xmlHttpReq INFO: got xmlHttpReq.open OK INFO: got xmlHttpReq.setRequestHeader OK INFO: got xmlHttpReq.sendXMLHttpRequest OK INFO: gotMetadata ... has the content of Chapter15.py as the oData.responseText, and hence nothing that looks like JSON for the replaceChildNodes to work with This may not be a MochiKit problem at all, but rather an Apache config problem, nonetheless I thought I would ask for a little crowd wisdom Thanks in advance for any clues! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MochiKit" group.
