How to call back this basic http request?

**vortexer** · 05-06-2007 07:36 AM

Here's a working http request that is set up correctly. If you upload it named as anything.html along with a page named test.php, it will call whatever text you put in test.php It will put the text in the div id named T1. It does already.

Quote:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function myNewXMLobject(){
var xmlhttp=false;
try {
xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e) {
try {
xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} catch (E) {
xmlhttp = false;
}
}
if (!xmlhttp && typeof XMLHttpRequest!='undefined') {
try {
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
} catch (e) {
xmlhttp=false;
}
}
if (!xmlhttp && window.createRequest) {
try {
xmlhttp = window.createRequest();
} catch (e) {
xmlhttp=false;
}
}
return xmlhttp;
}
xmlobject=myNewXMLobject();
function up()
{xmlobject.open("GET", "test.php",true);
xmlobject.onreadystatechange=function() {
if (xmlobject.readyState==4) {
document.getElementById('T1').innerHTML=xmlobject.responseText;
alert(xmlobject.responseText)
}
}
xmlobject.send(null)
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="up();">
<div id="T1" style="border:1px solid black;height:100;width:150"></div>
</body>
</html>

I need help keeping the request going. So that after it pulls test.php it will repull it again from scratch after so much time. I tried setInterval(' ',10000); but I didn't know where to set it and which function to use for it. I also didn't know if the body onload was keeping it from recalling test.php all over again. I really need some help on finishing this what I am trying isn't working, thank you.

Ok I got the timer working but have one last question following.

In the test.php page is this.

PHP Code:


<?php 

if ($_GET['act'] == "countPosts") { 

$getfile = date("s");

$imagefile = "file" . $getfile . ".jpg";

echo "<img src='/$imagefile'>";

?>

How do I get this javascript function

Code:

function handleResponse() { 
     
        if(http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200){ 
     
            // Text returned FROM PHP script 
            var response = http.responseText; 
     
            if(response) { 
                // UPDATE ajaxTest content 
                document.getElementById("countPosts").innerHTML = response; 
                setTimeout('countPosts()',2000); 
            }

To show an image as well as text? Right now its pulling the correct image from the php but its not showing it as an image.

Please let me know how to change the javascript function, to include images in the response as well as text, thank you.

Basically I'm just trying to call the image in the page, not any text at all. So I think I can get rid of the text commands in the javascript and do something like this instead. But I think there is something missing in the getelement by id, like a src. command or something? Anyone know how to take an image from a php page and stick it in an id? I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks.

if (xmlobject.readyState==4) {
document.getElementById('T1').src ?????????
