On Mac Os X with Apache personal web server. 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.
