I've been following the tutorial on w2schools (http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_ajax_database.asp) about using AJAX and a database. It's my first time actually using AJAX and I've run into a problem. Nothing seems to be happening
What i'm trying to do is when a user changes on drop down, another is filled out depending on the first
This is the form
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<title>Scouts DB - Members</title>
<link href="../css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="addmem.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="packsix.js"></script>
<?php include('menu.php'); ?>

This is the packsix.js file
Code:
var xmlhttp
function packsix(int)
{
pack(int)
}
function pack(int)
{
xmlhttp=GetXmlHttpObject();
if (xmlhttp==null)
{
alert ("Browser does not support HTTP Request");
return;
}
var url="pack.php";
url=url+"?q="+str;
url=url+"&sid="+Math.random();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged;
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
xmlhttp.send(null);
}
function stateChanged()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4)
{
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}
function GetXmlHttpObject()
{
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
return new XMLHttpRequest();
}
if (window.ActiveXObject)
{
// code for IE6, IE5
return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
return null;
}
}
and this is the pack.php file
PHP Code:
// JavaScript Document
var xmlhttp
function packsix(int)
{
pack(int)
}
function pack(int)
{
xmlhttp=GetXmlHttpObject();
if (xmlhttp==null)
{
alert ("Browser does not support HTTP Request");
return;
}
var url="pack.php";
url=url+"?q="+str;
url=url+"&sid="+Math.random();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged;
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
xmlhttp.send(null);
}
function stateChanged()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4)
{
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}
function GetXmlHttpObject()
{
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
return new XMLHttpRequest();
}
if (window.ActiveXObject)
{
// code for IE6, IE5
return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
return null;
}
}
knowing my luck it'll be something simple
Anyone any ideas?
