Hello JavaRanchers,

The function below is a javascript function that has AJAX code to request and recieve data from a servlet.




Questions:

1.The above code works in firefox version 2.0.0.1.4 but not in Internet Explorer 7(Just displays a blank page). Any input on this ?

2.As I said earlier, this code works in firefox version 2.0.0.1.4 but it gives me the below error when it works on firefox version 3.0.1. I traced this error through firebug( an addon in firefox ) and it shows the below error on line 20,

uncaught exception: [Exception... "Not enough arguments [nsIXMLHttpRequest.send]" nsresult: "0x80570001 (NS_ERROR_XPC_NOT_ENOUGH_ARGS)" location: "JS frame :: http://localhost:8080/Iward/login :: xmlhttpPost :: line 20" data: no]



Line 0

Based on this error, I checked my javascript function code, but i am not able to understand whats wrong with it.

Could anyone please provide thier input on it ?

Thanks,
Hardik Raja

Try send(null) or send ('').

Or better yet, follow the advice of the more experienced Ajax developers and adopt a library to handle all the intricacies and cross-browser nuances of Ajax for you. I highly recommend one of Prototype or jQuery. jQuery has the most painless Ajax integration, in my opinion.

Dear Bear Bibeault,

Using send(null) doesn't display the error, I had mentioned earlier and thanks for you input on using jquery. Thank You.

Regards,
Hardik
