Hi all ,
I'm new to Ajax programing.I have written a code in ajax in a jsp page but somehow
httpReq.responseText is returning the entire page.That means alert(httpReq.responseText) is returning the whole html code.Please someone help me to get a solution for this .

SAPTARSHI CHAKRABORTY, please do us all a favor and modify your display name to not use all uppercase. It's very hard to read. Our eyes will thank you!

The reponse will contain whatever gets written to it. If your Ajax request hits a server-side resource that returns an entire page, that's what responseText will contain.

Be sure that your request is only setting what you want set into the response.

I do have the same problem. The reponse I got is whole html page not the time what I want. I am really new to ajax. This is my first sample program. Could you please some one point me to the good tutorials.

What are you requesting? Your server resource can deliver just what you want it to. I don't really understand the problem. If you don't want it to return an HTML page, don't give it the URL of the HTML page.

This is my html page code.

xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if(xmlHttp.readyState==4)
{

document.myForm.time.value=xmlHttp.responseText;

}
}
xmlHttp.open("GET","time.jsp",true);
xmlHttp.send(null);
}

This is my jsp code

<%Calendar currDateTemp = Calendar.getInstance();

int currDD1=currDateTemp.get(Calendar.DATE);%>

<% response.getWriter().write(currDD1);%>

Could you please let me know what I am doing wrong. I don't have any clue.

Is that all that's in your JSP? If it is, then there is no way that that JSP can render a complete HTML page. Why do you think that it does?
