Need help with SOAP with JavaScript

I have a current function in javascript that is trying to use soap to get some values from a web service. However, I keep getting errors such as "Unterminated String Constant" and "Object Expected"

here is my function:

Code:

---

<script type="text/javascript">     
     
    function test1(){
    var oXmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP");
   
    oXmlHttp.open("POST","http://www.webservicex.net/WeatherForecast.asmx?wsdl",false);
    oXmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml");
       
    oXmlHttp.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "http://www.webservicex.net/GetWeatherByZipCode");
     
  oXmlHttp.send(" \
        <soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'  \
        xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' \
        xmlns:soap='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'>  \
<soap:Body>    \
 <GetWeatherByZipCode xmlns='http://www.webservicex.net'>  \
<ZipCode>60609</ZipCode>  \
</GetWeatherByZipCode>  \
</soap:Body> \
</soap:Envelope>  \
");
           
                alert(oXmlHttp.responseText);
    }
               
</script>

That's what you get when you spread a string through 11 line returns. Make sure the string you are sending is valid.

Even when I take the line returns out and combine the string into 2 lines or one variable I still get the same error.

I don't get any error when I put it all on one line.

Code:

---

  oXmlHttp.send("<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:soap='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'><soap:Body><GetWeatherByZipCode xmlns='http://www.webservicex.net'><ZipCode>60609</ZipCode></GetWeatherByZipCode></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>");

Also, why are you not checking the onreadystatechance before alerting the return?

So I was able to fix the code for the unterminated string constant error in a regular test html page. However, the html page is now getting a permission denied error on the oXmlHttp.open method.

Also my production code is still getting a unterminated string constant error.(The production app uses my embedded js as part of its XSL code). For some reason the same code I used in the html page still gives me a untermed string constant error in the XSL page. Im thinking that the app is changing the code for some reason. I validated it as well before hand. I have tried using the " for the quotes, but then it doesnt validate....

Here is my updated code without the onreadystatechange addition you mentioned.

Code:

---

<script type="text/javascript">
 function test1(){
    var oXmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP");
    alert('beforeOpen');
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege(“UniversalBrowserRead”);
    oXmlHttp.open("POST","http://www.webservicex.net/WeatherForecast.asmx?wsdl",true);
        alert('beforesetRequestHeader1');
    oXmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml");
        alert('beforesetRequestHeader2');
    oXmlHttp.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "http://www.webservicex.net/GetWeatherByZipCode");
      alert('beforeSEND');
 
 oXmlHttp.send("<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' "
                  + "xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' "
                + "xmlns:soap='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'> "
                + "<soap:Body> "
                + "<GetWeatherByZipCode xmlns='http://www.webservicex.net'> "
                + "<ZipCode>60609</ZipCode>"
                + "</GetWeatherByZipCode> "
                + "</soap:Body>"
                + "</soap:Envelope> "
                + " \"");
           
                alert(oXmlHttp.responseText);
    }
               
</script>

Thanks for your help on these errors.
