I am just wondering how to get form variables to send using AJAX.
I can get it to work with GET, but I am looking to have it so that I can submit several fields to a php page and have that php page do stuff with those variables.
I have an example with GET that I got from a tutorial and I changed a bit:
<html>
<body><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
//Browser Support Code
function ajaxFunction(){
var ajaxRequest; // The variable that makes Ajax possible!try{
// Opera 8.0+, Firefox, Safari
ajaxRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
} catch (e){
// Internet Explorer Browsers
try{
ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e) {
try{
ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e){
// Something went wrong
alert("Your browser broke!");
return false;
}
}
}
// Create a function that will receive data sent from the server
ajaxRequest.onreadystatechange = function(){
if(ajaxRequest.readyState == 4){
document.myForm.time.value = ajaxRequest.responseText;
}
}
var un = document.getElementById("username").value;
ajaxRequest.open("GET", "working/functions/pagetest.php?act=add_page&username=" + un, true);
ajaxRequest.send(null);
}//-->
</script><form name='myForm'>
Name: <input type='text' onChange="ajaxFunction();" name="username" id="username" /> <br />
Time: <input type='text' name='time' />
</form>
</body>
</html>
And the php
<?if($_GET["act"]=="add_page") {
$un = $_GET["username"];
echo $un;
}
?>
