Ahh, I came across the following (after claiming it could not be done): http://www.prototypejs.org/api/ajax/request
This has helped me. I was failing to specify an "onComplete" method, so I was rushing to evaluate the response before it happened. r.b. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Burgholzer,Robert Sent: Monday, July 30, 2007 10:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OpenLayers-Users] returning text from simple ajax request I am trying to do a simple request of data (just a dummy page as the target for now), but I am missing some crucial understanding, as this is not working for me. Any small guidance anyone could provide would be helpful, I am very new to working with Ajax. My goal at the time being is to simply initiate a request from a page, and then alert the data returned by that page. I assumed that an Ajax request would be the right way to go. I am initiating the request as follows: Var url = 'test.php' var responseObj = new OpenLayers.Ajax.Request(url, { method: 'post', postBody: data, onComplete: success, onFailure: failure } ); var responseData = responseObj.transport.responseText; alert(responseData); And the request IS being made, as verified by my httpd access log: 172.16.210.66 - - [30/Jul/2007:10:31:14 -0400] "POST /wms_maps/test.php HTTP/1.1" 200 154 However, I can't seem to find the text that is generated by test.php in my responseObj. I am attempting to access this text with the "responseText" property of my responseObj, but am getting only a blank (whereas the script itself returns several lines of text). Sorry if this is a dumb question, I have not been able to nabble any successful tutorials on this. TIA, r.b. Robert W.
