XMLHTTPRequest error

[col_edinburgh]

the following code:

xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
 
 xmlhttp.open("GET","http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx/site/getXML.php',true);
 xmlhttp.send();‍‍‍‍

Produces this error:

Failed to create content due to error: 11230444 Failed to execute script 'workspace://S…': 11230443 ReferenceError: "XMLHttpRequest" is not defined. (workspace://S….)

Is it not possible to use XMLHttpRequest in Javascript API ?

[col_edinburgh]

OK so it'n not possible to use AJAX with the Javascript API.

As a work around I have now been able to get the xml data into a string using:http://www.unorganizedmachines.com/site/software-and-technology/34-software-development/97-calling-w.... Top man

So next question. How do I extract the data I need from the string? getElementById throws an 'undefined' error.

Hope this will serve your purpose.
