Hi Eric,
Have you considered using a Javascript Library to handle these details? I
would recommend that you refactor your code to use one so that you can
concentrate on what you actually want to do instead. This way you can also
avoid having browser incompatabilities that are already solved if you use a
Javascript Library. Try checking out Prototype at
http://www.prototypejs.org/

Re: [CODE4LIB] httpRequest javascript.... grrr
You're using IE, which means you need to issue the open() before
adding the onreadystatechange handler.
Otherwise, open will trigger a call to your handler, and IE's
implementation won't have reset the readyState to 0.
In either event, you should double-check that the status of the
request is 200 before accessing the result.

To point out why the use of a Javascript framework is important, let me
put your code into jQuery (http://jquery.com)
$.get('index.cgi', {cmd:'add_tag', username:'username'}, function(html) {
// do whatever you want here

PrototypeJS has a similar, easy to use construct. In the end, using any
framework is more important than the specific choice of framework.

Re: [CODE4LIB] httpRequest javascript.... grrr
Eric - Have a look at some of the ajax functions I wronte for VuFind - there
are some almost identical function calls that work just fine.
http://vufind.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/vufind/web/services/Record/ajax.js?revision=106
See function SaveTag
Also - You might want to consider using the Yahoo YUI Connection Manager or the
Prototype AJAX toolkit. They both work great and you don't need to spend time
debugging. I also find firebug (firefox plugin) to be an awesome ajax debugger.
Just by looking at your function real quick - you are calling
httpRequest.send('') at the end of your function. I think I read somewhere
that you should send null and not an empty string. Maybe that will solve it?
Not really sure.

Re: [CODE4LIB] httpRequest javascript.... grrr
Don't leave out the Yahoo YUI library as something to consider. Whats nice is
that you don't have to load the entire library as one big huge js file - you
can pick and choose what libraries you want to include in your page minimizing
the javascript filesize. If you want to have one little js widget on you page
- the browser doesn't need to download and process a 150kb prototype js file.

Re: [CODE4LIB] httpRequest javascript.... grrr
I'd highly recommend getting a good clear handle on the underlying
javascript workings before moving to a library like jQuery (which I am
quite fond of) especially when using XMLHTTPRequest. If you don't,
mysterious problems may arise that are all the more difficult to debug
since you have the library between you and the executed javascript.
I find that the most common problems with XHR are quite often due to it's
asynchronous behavior. You cannot simply invoke a function within the
response code and expect to have it fire, because the code has no way of
knowing when/if that response will occur. You need to instead create a
callback function that you pass into the response code (like you are
accustomed to doing when setting an event handler).
I am not 100% sure if that's the problem here, but I would try this:
before defining httpRequest.onreadystatechange, define:
callback_alert = function(msg) { alert(msg); };
then:
httpRequest.onreadtstatechange = function(callback_alert) {
[...]
callback_alert ( root_node.firstChild.data );
}
The problem is that your anonymous function onreadystatechage is
effectively compiled to run later, but the alert function becomes a
closure which remembers its compilation state when invoked. And at the
time of its compilation, xmldoc did not exist.
One thing I WOULD recommend it to study some of the libraries to see how
they construct their XHR code.
Here's my standard XHR:
Dase.ajax = function(url,my_func) {
var xmlhttp = Dase.createXMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.open('GET', url, true);
xmlhttp.send(null);
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 xmlhttp.status == 200) {
var returnStr = xmlhttp.responseText;
if (my_func) {
my_func(returnStr);
}
} else {
// wait for the call to complete
}
};
};
Note that I always pass in a (callback) function to do what needs doing
to the response code.
I hope that helps-

First of all, my httpRequest (XMLHttpRequest) code was just fine. I

Re: [CODE4LIB] httpRequest javascript.... grrr [resolved]
Indeed, my proposed fix was incorrect -- an alert does NOT need to be passed into the function as a callback (it's always globally available) and since the parameter for the alert is response text, that's A-OK. If you want to insert that response into the page (and not just 'alert' it), you WOULD need to create a callback function which made reference to the page element 'target' (thus serving as a closure). One thing about XHR -- you have all four HTTP verbs at your disposal: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE and so you may wish to use one of the non-safe (i.e. state-changing) methods for your XHR call (probably POST in the case of adding a tag) to make things more RESTful. XHR is actually a very good way to hijack links (which are otherwise going to simply use 'GET') which will perform state-changing operations. Then when your application starts exposing web services, you'll be that much more aligned with RESTful principles (I'm convinced that's v. important, although plenty of successful services expose unsafe GETs).
