Need an example?

• abort
• getAllResponseHeaders
• getResponseHeader
• Open
• Send

• onreadystatechange: contains the name of the event handler (function to call) when the value of readyState property changes.
• readyState: State of the request ( read only and status code )
• responseText: Body of the response. Returned as a string
• responseXML: Body of the response in XML format.
• status / Status (ie): HTTP Status code returned by a request
• statusText: response status text
  

Making the request object:

• method: Get, Post, PUT, HEAD, or PROPFIND
• URL: is the URL
• asyncFlag: whether or not the call is async. The default is true.
• username: s/e
  
• password: s/e



Handling The Data That Is Returned

---


Once the connection has been opened, a callback function is fired. This function is meant to fire when data begins to download or after data has been downloaded. The request object will call the callback function. This is done by assigning the callback function to the onreadystatechange property of the request object like so:

              XMLHttpRequestObject.onreadystatechange = myCallbackFunction;

This step can also be done using an anonymous function.

onreadystatechange has several numeric codes that serve as status indicators. Here they are:


• 0 – unitialized
• 1 – loading
• 2 – loaded
• 3 – interactive
• 4 – complete

The status property also has status codes. These are normal HTTP status codes and the values are as follows:


• 200 – ok
• 210 – created
• 204 – no content
• 205 – reset content
• 206 – partial content
• 400 – bad request
  
• 401 – unauthorized
• 403 – forbidden
• 404 – not found
• and on and on… http://www.w3.org/Protocol/HTTP/HTRESP.html

Inside of your callback function you can have an “if” statement that checks the status code. If the status code is 4, meaning the data download is complete, and the status property is 200, meaning that it went well, then we can proceed with the data download. This is usually done by firing another method, the send method.



Conclusion:

---


You have seen the basic steps that it takes to make an AJAX connection and talk to the server. For a quick summary here are the necessary steps.


1. Create the XMLHttpRequest Object.
2. Use the open method to configure it.
3. Call an anonymous function to handle the data download by connecting to onreadystatechange
4. Use the send method to execute the request
