AJAX is used to create more interactive applications
The following example will demonstrate how a web page can communicate with a web server while a user type characters in an input field:
Start typing a name in the input field below:
In the example above, when a user types a character in the input field, a function called "showHint()" is executed.
The function is triggered by the onkeyup event.
Here is the HTML code:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function showHint(str) {
if (str.length == 0) {
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML = "";
return;
} else {
var xmlhttp = new
XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function()
{
if (this.readyState == 4 &&
this.status == 200) {
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML =
this.responseText;
}
};
xmlhttp.open("GET", "gethint?q=" + str, true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p><b>Start typing a name in the
input field below:</b></p>
<form>
First name: <input type="text"
onkeyup="showHint(this.value)">
</form>
<p>Suggestions: <span id="txtHint"></span></p>
</body>
</html>
Code explanation:
First, check if the input field is empty (str.length == 0). If it is, clear the content of the txtHint placeholder and exit the function.
However, if the input field is not empty, do the following:
The ASP file checks an array of names, and returns the corresponding name(s) to the browser:
