AJAX - onreadystatechange event

onreadystatechange event

When a request is sent to the server, based on the response we need to perform some tasks.

Whenever readyState changes will trigger onreadystatechange event.

there XMLHttpRequest readyState property status information.

Here is the XMLHttpRequest object three important properties:

属性 描述
onreadystatechange 存储函数（或函数名），每当 readyState 属性改变时，就会调用该函数。
readyState

存有 XMLHttpRequest 的状态。从 0 到 4 发生变化。

  • 0: 请求未初始化
  • 1: 服务器连接已建立
  • 2: 请求已接收
  • 3: 请求处理中
  • 4: 请求已完成，且响应已就绪
status 200: "OK"
404: 未找到页面

In the onreadystatechange event, we require that the server responds when the task is ready to be processed when executed.

When the readyState and status equal to 4 to 200, a response ready:

Examples

xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}

Note: onreadystatechange event is triggered 5 times (0--4), corresponding to each of the readyState changes.

Using callback functions

Is a callback function passed as a parameter to another function.

If multiple AJAX tasks exist on your site, then you should create XMLHttpRequest object to write a standard function, and the function is called for each AJAX task.

URL should contain the function call and the tasks performed onreadystatechange event occurs (for each call may vary):

Examples

function myFunction()
{
loadXMLDoc("ajax_info.txt",function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
}
});
}
