Ajax

[user4fun]

I keep geting that eh $name is empty?register.php

<script type="text/javascript">var http = false;if(navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {  http = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");} else {  http = new XMLHttpRequest();}function validate(name){  http.open("POST", "validate_form.php", true);  http.onreadystatechange=function()	{	if(http.readyState == 4)		{	  document.getElementById('UsernameMsg').innerHTML = http.responseText;		}	  }  http.send(name);}</script><h1>Please choose your username:</h1><form name="signup">  <input type="text" name="name" id="name" onchange="validate(this.value)" />  <div id="UsernameMsg"></div></form>

validate_form.php

<?if($_POST["name"] == "")	echo "name is empty";else	echo "you typed ".$_POST["name"];?>

No matter what I do, I alway get the output asname is emptyAlso, how would this be changed arround so I can also send out the send input box for the next validation, say I want to send the phone number value to see that the user has inputted all enough numbers.I dont want to have to make a new function and a validation page for input box.

You need to set a few additional headers when using POST with AJAX.http://www.google.com.au/search?q=AJAX+POST
