How To Display XMLHttpRequest?

[johnywhy]

hi

what's wrong with this code? it seems to load the text file ok, but it won't display it:

<script type="text/javascript"> 
var client = new XMLHttpRequest(); 
client.open('GET', 'resources/text/test.txt'); 
document.write(client.responseText); 
</script>

thanks

<script type="text/javascript"> 
function yourfunc(url){
    oxmlhttp = null;
    try{        oxmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();        oxmlhttp.overrideMimeType("text/xml");    }
    catch(e){
        try{      oxmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");        }
        catch(e){          return null;        }
    }
    if(!oxmlhttp) return null;
    try{       oxmlhttp.open("GET",url,false);       oxmlhttp.send(null);    }
    catch(e){       return null;    }
	document.getElementById('tx').value=oxmlhttp.responseText;
}
</script> 

call yourFunc('resources/text/test.txt')

it writes to textarea id="tx" so you can see it as code
