RichardRotterdam Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Here is one thing wrong: In this function you have txtCustomerId where id is with the "I" in uppercase. function requestCustomerInfo() { var sId = document.getElementById("txtCustomerId").value; console.log(sId); xhr.open("GET", url + escape(sId), true); xhr.onreadystatechange = handleHttpResponse; xhr.send(null); } in your embedded onclick event you have txtCustomerid where id is with the "i" in lowercase. <input type="button" value="Get Customer Info" onclick="requestCustomerInfo()" /> Use a javascript debugger to find these kind of typos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl5501 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 In addition to the I/i issue mentioned in the last post, then you might want to consider what your display.php outputs. You have it outputting full HTML with DOCTYPE head, body etc, when all you really need in your div, is the database output you are echoing. So, as this is a php file to be called by ajax to get some server side info and return it, then it does not need all the HTML around it. the whole file can be : <?php $id = $_GET['id']; echo $id; $connect = mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass"); mysql_select_db("customers"); $query = "select * from customer where id=$id"; $result = mysql_query($query); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { echo $row['name']."<br>"; echo $row['address']."<br>"; echo $row['phone']; } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
