AJAX = JS and XML, which JS and XML?

Okay, so AJAX is used with Javascript and XML, but which XML?

I mean, how do I call to get contents from some XML file from javascript?

I'll search in google and see what I get for some help or samples or whatever it is.

A little clarification...AJAX is not used with JavaScript and XML, it IS JavaScript + XML. (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML)

W3School's AJAX section explains its implementation very well. Remember that there are two returns (responseText and responseXML). W3Schools only shows the responseText in its examples. But you can easily change that yourself to work with an XML response.

Thanks, and before I type this up, I tried taking a script from a website for basic AJAX, and I found out that my JS only responds to HttpRequest and not the other two that is from.

ActiveXObject.Create("Microsoft.XmlHttp");


Also, I found out that you can preform script actions on your local computer with

Code:

---

var op = AxtiveXObject.Create("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

---

So, is there any other Active X Objects to call that are popular, I'm just going to do some script experiments and mess around (carefully).

Yes, I have mentioned that to you before. But you must remember that ActiveX is restricted to IE only. And even in IE the user must enable the ActiveX object in order for it to function. NEVER rely on ActiveX unless you are securely limiting users to IE only.

Once again, that is because you are using IE. Safari and Firefox use new XMLHttpRequest(), and depending on what patches and additional installs, IE can use Msxml2.XMLHTTP. ALWAYS include the whole 3 try catch statement.
