Re: XMLHttpRequest

["Joe Harriman" <jharriman@xxxxxxxx>]

I appreciate the quick responses on this.  However, I guess I have failed to 
get my problem across.
My AJAX works great and I get the responses back to my web page correctly.  
I'll try again.
 
The URL that is submitted by XMLHttpReponse runs a CGI program.  In a CGI 
program, I will sometimes make a CALL to another CGI program.  If I do this 
from a POST using a form submit or a link, the called pgm will create a new web 
page correctly.  If I do that same call from the AJAX submitted request, the 
call does not work.  It doesn't even run as far as I can tell.  That is why I 
questioned if they ran in the same server.

Hi Joe!

Ajax is a little bit counter-intuitive in some ways.  First off, the
requests always go back to the same server.  In fact, when you format an
Ajax request, you leave off the "http://server <http://server/> " portion of 
the request; it
assumes it will be going back to the original server.

I have had good luck formatting my response in such a way that it shows up
in the browser if I invoke it directly.  That is, whatever URL I expect to
pass to the XMLHttpRequest call, I test that URL by simply typing it into
the address bar of my browser (I prefix it with the http://server/ portion).
That allows me to make sure each request is working correctly.

If you can do that and your XMLHttpRequest still isn't working, then I'm not
sure what the problem might be.
