Most of the time i was making asynchronous request to get the response. Today i was trying to make a synchronous request using the following in my request page
<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> New Document </TITLE> <script src="./src/js/prototype.js" type="text/javascript" > </script> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" > function makeRequest() { var myAjax = new Ajax.Request( "testResponse.php", { method: 'post', asynchronous: false, onComplete: displayResponse }); } function displayResponse(xmlhttp) { alert("Am i coming here "); xmlhttp = null; } </script> </HEAD> <BODY> <table> <Tr> <td> < href='javascript:makeRequest("abc")' >Click me </a> </td> </tr> </table> </BODY> </HTML> |
My response page is simple php page echoing some message which is. testResponse.php is as under
<?php echo "What i am sending from here"; ?> |
With this request setting for my AJAX call i.e. synchronous request is made with asynchronous request set to false. I am not able to fire onComplete method but when i change asynchronous request to true I am able to fire the function registered for my onComplete event.
Then i started looking in my livehttpheader whether request is getting fired at all or not. You guessed it right, request is not going from javascript.
I was not sure is it a bug in prototype library or I am doing something wrong. Later i found that i was passing parameters incorrectly. I have to change the way i was passing parameter i.e.
asynchronous: 'false'
and VOILA it works!!
So it was my editor which was showing keyword when it typed false without single quote and i have kept it like that :)
