Hi

I'm trying to read an xml file using AJAX in the ClientSideBeforeExecute of a callback panel.

The following is the Javascript function called by the ClientSideBeforeExecute for my callbackpanel.

The request does not read the file nor does is raise any errors.

Am I accessing the HTTP Request object correctly within the callback?



function ClientSideBeforeExecuteHdlr(callbackPanel)
{

return ProcessCancelLinkRequest();
}

function ProcessUpdateLinkRequest()
{
//Get Filename
return CanEditDeal(FileName);
}

function CanEditDeal(file)
{
var xmlObj = null;

//Identify browser and get related HTTP Request object
if(window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
xmlObj = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else if(window.ActiveXObject)
{
xmlObj = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
else
{
alert("ERROR: Cannot identify browser. Please contact System Adminstrator");
return false;
}


//Capture completed state of HTTP Request to read Deal Lock xml file
xmlObj.onreadystatechange = function()
{
alert("DEBUG: Ready State = " + xmlObj.readyState);
if(xmlObj.readyState == 4) //When completed
{
if (xmlObj.status == 200) //200 = OK , 404 = Not Found
{
var dealId = xmlObj.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('DealId')[0].firstChild.data;
var UserId = xmlObj.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('UserId')[0].firstChild.data;
var UserName = xmlObj.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('UserName')[0].firstChild.data;

alert("This Deal is currently locked by " + UserName);
return false;
}
else
{
alert("DEBUG: No file found, therefore no lock exisits");
return true;
}

}
}

alert("DEBUG: Start File read");
// read xml file
xmlObj.open ('GET', file, true);
xmlObj.send ('');
alert("DEBUG: Read file request sent");
}

Sorted.

I was using the physical file path instead of the relative path

Thanks anyway
