dynamic xmlhttp page

[Tien-Chih Wang]

Hi,
I trigger two xmlhttp connection simultaneously.
What I need is to keep one xmlhttp.responseText as static InnerHtml and still updating the other(Using setTimeout()). The page only displays the setTimeout() one but never shows the first static one. Is there anyway to do this? Sample codes provided will be appreciated.

Regards,

What is the code that you are using?

Hi,

here is the xmlhttp javascript source code. The 'count' element keeps counting without any problem, but the 'record' element never show up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

<script language="javascript">
<!--

function count()
{
req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
req.open("get", "counter.cgi", true);
req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
req.onreadystatechange=
function()
{
if (req.readyState==4)
{
if (req.status==200)
{
window.document.getElementById('count').innerHTML=req.responseText;
}
}
};

req.send();
setTimeout("count()",500);
}


function call()
{
req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
req.open("get", "jobHandling.cgi", true);
req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
req.onreadystatechange=
function()
{
if (req.readyState==4)
{
window.document.getElementById('record').innerHTML=req.responseText;
}
};

req.send();
count();
}

---------------------------
Html code

<table>
<tr><td><div id='count'></div></td></tr> // Display ok
<tr><td><div id='record'></div></td></tr> // Show Nothing..:-(

I glanced at it in a split second and you are using two global variables named req. if you do not declare var req inside your function, it is global. Try declaring it and see if you still have problems. I did not look at the code other than that right now.

Hi,
Thanks for the help!! Indeed it's a global variable issue.
Take a look at this site to see the result.
