Jeremy Suiter | ajax and IE7 on Wed, 15 Nov 2006 16:13:08 +0000 Hi, Since I've updated a few machines here to ie7 the ajax parts of my waa app have stopped working. I'm investigating and will let you know what I find. If anyone already has a cure can you let me know. Thanks Jeremy | |
Jeremy Suiter | Re: ajax and IE7 on Wed, 15 Nov 2006 16:37:57 +0000 I've found a workaround, but it's not really a fix. Apparently IE7 has native XMLHttpRequest built in instead of ActiveX, but it doesn't work. I've had to rem out the native side to force IE7 to use ActiveX. function loadXMLDoc(url){ if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { rem out this part as IE7 doesn't like it. req = new XMLHttpRequest(); req.onreadystatechange = processReqChange; req.open("GET", cBaseUrl+url, true); req.send(null); } else if (window.ActiveXObject) { req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); if (req) { req.onreadystatechange = processReqChange; req.open("GET", cBaseUrl+url, true); req.send(); } } //} What the native part doesn;t seem to do is run the <method></method> function that the XML file returns.

Bruce Anderson | Re: ajax and IE7 on Fri, 17 Nov 2006 14:24:08 -0600 I am curious about where people are using ajax in their websites. Would you please tell me what kind of information you are updating on your page? Bruce Anderson | |
Jeremy Suiter | Re: ajax and IE7 on Mon, 20 Nov 2006 09:51:18 +0000 I use it to auto fill out drop down list boxes. I work for a property management company (apartment blocks) and when selecting a tenant I use drop down list boxes. When selecting a property (we manage over 150) I auto fill out the tenant drop down list box so I can pick a tenant without having to refresh the page.

Bruce Anderson | Re: ajax and IE7 on Mon, 20 Nov 2006 13:39:06 -0600 Thank you. This is a big help to me. I see now where ajax is the perfect way to approach a cascading pull down list situation, probably common in any kind of catalog selection situation. Time for me to learn more (the never ending story of my life). | |
