AJAX - ServerResponse
Server Response
To get the response from the server, use the responseText or responseXML property of the XMLHttpRequest object.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| responseText | Get response data as a string. |
| responseXML | Get response data as XML. |
responseText Property
If the response from the server is not XML, use the responseText property.
The responseText property returns the response as a string, so you can use it like this:
responseXML Property
If the response from the server is XML, and you need to parse it as an XML object, use the responseXML property:
Example
Requestcd_catalog.xmlfile, and parse the response:
xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;
txt="";
x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("ARTIST");
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
txt=txt + x[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue + "<br>";
}
document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML=txt;
