HTMLHelp Forums _ Client-side Scripting _ Question on create simple call

Posted by: soupi Aug 12 2020, 10:45 AM

Whats the best way to put together a simple webpage that contains a javascript code that calls an ajax function to retrieve some data and finally display that data in the simple webpage.

currently I only have

CODE

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<div id="demo">
<h2>AJAX Text</h2>
<button type="button" onclick="loadDoc()">Change Content</button>
</div>

<script>
function loadDoc() {
  var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
      document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =
      this.responseText;
    }
  };
  xhttp.open("GET", "ajax_info.txt", true);
  xhttp.send();
}
</script>

</body>
</html>
