XmlHTTPRequest sample code does not work

I want to write a simple Javascript program that will fetch a text file and display it using alert. So, being optimistic, I went to the w3schools page that purports to offer sample programs and I tried one:

http://www.w3schools.com/dom/tryit.asp?filename=try_dom_xmlhttpr开发者_如何转开发equest_first

It doesn't work. I substituted their URL for mine. I played with their code in an attempt to get it to work. Still nothing.

I have a sneaking suspicion that my file, which is hosted on Comcast, is not being read because Comcast is blocking Javascript access to files. But I hope I am wrong. I also tried http://yahoo.com, and still I get a zero-byte response.

Here is my latest code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id="myDiv" > xyz </div>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var xmlHttp = null;
function writeDiv (divName, content)
{
     document.getElementById(divName).innerHTML = content;
}
function Fetch()
{
    var Url = "http://yahoo.com";
    document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML = "processing...";
    xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = ProcessRequest;
    xmlHttp.open("GET", Url, true );
    xmlHttp.send(null );
}
function ProcessRequest()
{
    if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4) {
        writeDiv ("myDiv", xmlHttp.responseText);
    }
}
Fetch();
//-->
</script>
</body>
</html>

Help?


  1. You can't access data on other sites. The same origin policy prevents this for security reasons.
  2. You have commented out your JavaScript, so it won't execute (if the file is processed as XHTML instead of HTML). I wrote an article on the subject a while ago if you want more details.
  3. Don't trust W3S. See http://w3fools.com/
  4. new XMLHttpRequest() won't work on older versions of Internet Explorer (according to leeeb, support for that syntax was added in IE 7)
