Struts 1 & JQuery & Ajax

[Fred Artes]

Please can you give me an example of code using Struts 1 & JQuery & Ajax ?

Without JQUery I have this

    
function loadBanks(){
		selectAgency = document.getElementById('selectAgency ');

		selectedIdxAgency = selectAgency.selectedIndex;
		_selectedAgency = selectAgency[ selectedIdxAgency ].value;

		// get request
		url = "manageAgency.do?dispatch=loadBanks&idAgency=" + _selectedAgency ;

		// Calling ajax
		if( window.XMLHttpRequest ){ // Non IE
			req = new XMLHttpRequest();
			req.onreadystatechange = populateBanksList;

			try{
				req.open("GET", url, true);
			}
			catch(e){
				alert("Error with server");
			}

			req.send(null);
		}
		else if( window.ActiveXObject ){ //IE
			req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
			if( req ){
				req.onreadystatechange = populateBanksList;
				req.open("GET", url, true);
				req.send();
			}
		}
	}

Thanks

Working with jQuery is so damn easy, you don't need this much code.

here's a small sample for your code,

$(function loadBanks(){
    // Current selected value
	var selectedAgency=$("#selectAgency").val();
                       
    $.ajax({url:"manageAgency.do",
		data:"?dispatch=loadBanks&idAgency="+selectedAgency;
		success:showAgency,
        // On select, display 'Loading...' message
		beforeSend: function() { $('#wait').show(); }, 
       // On complete stop displaying 'Loading...' message
		complete: function() { $('#wait').hide(); },	
		cache:false});
});

The resulting data will be handled by method called 'showAgency()'.

function showAgency(textData){
      // process the data
      alert(textData);
}

these might work.

There's nothing Struts-specific when using jQuery and Ajax--only the Ajax endpoint will have anything to do with Struts.
