http.responseText - get response
Get response
Syntax
http.responseText
Parameters
http - is the variable name used in a prior call to new XMLHttpRequest;
Returned Value
The text that was returned from the http request. E.g. an HTML or XML file or just echoed output.
Description
After having created an XMLHttpRequest object, opened an URL, and issued that request (via send), you can get the response by examining the responseText property of the XMLHttpRequest object.
Example
Note that the async parameter of open is false since I want synchronous behavior. I want the get to have been done before I check responseText.
var http = new XMLHttpRequest;
http.open("GET", "http://www.docorigin.com/MyIp.php", false);
http.send(null);
var sResult = http.responseText; // what was sent back
_message("result='%s'", sResult);
Results in: whatever the invoked, in this case PHP, responded with. In the MyIp.php example case that is something like: Your IP is: nn.nnn.n.nn
