No response from XMLHttpRequest
I'm working on a Firefox extension and I'm stuck at trying to get the response text from a few sites that I need to get data from. Not sure why I'm not getting any data here.
Here's the code to test out an XHR request from Quantcast.com:
function callback(serverData) {
alert(serverData);
}
function ajaxRequest() {
var AJAX = null;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { 开发者_开发百科
AJAX=new XMLHttpRequest();
} else {
AJAX=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
if (AJAX==null) {
alert("Your browser doesn't support AJAX.");
return false
}
AJAX.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (AJAX.readyState==4 || AJAX.status==200) {
callback(AJAX.responseText);
}
}
var url='http://www.quantcast.com/facebook.com';
AJAX.open("GET", url, true);
AJAX.send(null);
}
Is there something missing here? I know of other extensions that are pulling data through Quantcast via XHR, but when I'm trying to do this nothing is showing up on the alert.
First I would do the opposite when making your call.
try {
AJAX = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); // Try Internet Explorer
}
catch(e) // Failure then it is something else.
{
AJAX = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
Then I would also change the way you get the answer because you want readyState and status, not or as you put it.
AJAX.onreadystatechange = function()
{
var xhrdata = "";
if(AJAX.readyState == 4)
{
if(AJAX.status == 200)
xhrdata = AJAX.responseText;
else
xhrdata = AJAX.status;
}
};
you could event put a try too and catch(e) for sending a message on Server Error. you can replace the xhrdata with the callback function too.
