I can't figure out why this isnt working...

The error in the firefox console is: request.responseXML has no properties. This leads me to believe that my xml is not valid. I do know that the file is reaching the server though. Here is my code...

 

var request = new XMLHttpRequest();

request.open("POST", "script.php", true);

request.onreadystatechange = function() {

      if (request.readyState == 4) {

    if (request.status == 200) {

document.getElementById('status').firstChild.data = request.responseXML.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("compname")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;

 

}else {

      document.getElementById('status').firstChild.data ="The server was unable to process your request";

  }

}

};

request.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

request.setRequestHeader("Content-length", 17);

request.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");

request.send(qs);

 

and the script.php file is just this:

 

$RETURN_XML = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>";

$RETURN_XML .= "<company>";

$RETURN_XML .= "<compname>asdf</compname>";

$RETURN_XML .= "<contname>asfd</contname>";

$RETURN_XML .= "<address>asdf</address>";

$RETURN_XML .= "<city>asdfff</city>";

$RETURN_XML .= "<country>asdfff</country>";

$RETURN_XML .= "</company>";

echo $RETURN_XML;

 

Any help is appreciated here...thanks a bunch.

The content-type header from the PHP file MUST be either text/xml or application/xml I believe.  Try adding:

header("Content-type: text/xml");

 

To the top of the PHP script and see if that solves the problem.
