As I read more I noticed this too, so I've switched to Ajax.Request .
However, it keeps failing. Here are some more details as to my
project.
I am creating a windows sidebar gadget that needs to connect to a page
on a remote server that uses php to generate XML content. I then need
to parse through that content to find a specific xml tag, then iterate
through the child elements of that tag, extracting the content from
each child node and place it in a separate div for each child.
My ajax request keeps failing, and I am guessing this is because the
url i'm requesting is on a remote server (while the gadget is more or
less a local html page). Any ideas on how to work around this and then
perform the rest of what is needed? Below is my code thus far..
function init()
{
var url = 'http://www.myurl.com/xmlneeded.php';
var ajax = new Ajax.Request(url, {
method: 'get',
onSuccess: updateDisplay,
onFailure: alert("FAILED")})
}
var updateDisplay = function(transport) {
var xmlResponse = transport.responseText;
//now i need to find <myParent> in the XML and iterate through
the child nodes to extract info
}
