A Simple AJAX with JSP example
I have used jQuery AJAX to make AJAX requests.
Check the following code:
<html><head> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('#call').click(function () { $.ajax({ type: "post", url: "testme", //this is my servlet data: "input=" +$('#ip').val()+"&output="+$('#op').val(), success: function(msg){ $('#output').append(msg); } }); }); }); </script> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>JSP Page</title></head><body> input:<input id="ip" type="text" name="" value="" /><br></br> output:<input id="op" type="text" name="" value="" /><br></br> <input type="button" value="Call Servlet" name="Call Servlet" id="call"/> <div id="output"></div></body>
You are doing mistake in "configuration_page.jsp" file.here in this file , function loadXMLDoc() 's line number 2 should be like this:
var config=document.getElementsByName('configselect').value;because you have declared only the name attribute in your <select> tag. So you should get this element by name.
After correcting this, it will run without any JavaScript error
loadXMLDoc JS function should return false, otherwise it will result in postback.
