Hi, I'm new to prototype and am having a problem with Ajax.Request. I find that it basically just loops round and round and round forever, and never finishes.
// uses ajax to attempt to connect to a database. Inserts either yes or no into error div function form_db(server, username, password, name) { //alert('hi'); new Ajax.Request('ajax_handler.php', { method:'get', onSuccess: function(transport){ var response = transport.responseText || "no response text"; alert("Success! \n\n" + response); }, onFailure: function(){ alert('Something went wrong...') } }); } This just constantly alerts "success + " the correct response from php, but it alerts again and again and again and never stops! If I comment out the prototype code and uncomment alert('hi'), that only alerts once so it must be a problem with the prototype usage. Could someone explain to me how to get it to just do one request then finish?
