Rewillis Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Attention: W3schools Javascript forum members: Earlier this morning I coded a simple AJAX script to post a line of text and a button to a web page and then, upon clicking the button, to print the text ( in the "ajax_1.txt" file ) to the web page. The AJAX script is as follows: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <div id="demo"> <h1>Let AJAX print this text</h1> <button type="button" onclick="loadDoc()">Print Content</button> </div> <script> function loadDoc() { var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() { if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) { document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = this.responseText; } }; xhttp.open("GET", "ajax_1.txt", true); xhttp.send(); } </script> </body> </html> The file "ajax_1.txt" is as follows: Name = Russell E. Willis. Birth Date = 12/21/1966. Age = 52. The line of text and the "Print Content" button appear in the web browser ( as indicated in the "<div-</div>" portion of the script file above ( but I was unable to insert the screen capture file of the output into this posting due to space limitations )). Why is the text file not appearing in my web browser when I click on the "Print Content" button? What am I doing wrong? NOTE: The script file above is just a minor variation of an example provided on your web page. Thank you ( see Colossians 3:15, for example ) for your help. Keep in touch.🙂 Sincerely in Christ, Russell E. Willis P.S. - Please read Proverbs 23:23. Edited December 21, 2018 by Rewillis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 If this is running in your local filesystem then your browser security settings may be preventing scripts from accessing the text file. It is best to test AJAX in a real server environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewillis Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Attention: Ingolme: Thank you ( see Colossians 3:15, for example ) for your suggestion. I set up a new test subdomain on the web hosting site I am using for two of my web pages, uploaded the AJAX ( Asynchronous JavaScript And XML ) file, and the "ajax_1.txt" file, and the AJAX file works perfectly. Keep in touch.🙂 Sincerely in Christ, Russell E. Willis P.S. - Please read Proverbs 23:23. Edited December 22, 2018 by Rewillis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
