Multi-Array of XML Requests
- by sologhost
OMG, I am in need of a way to set up arrays of XML Requests based on the idShout - 1.
So it would be something like this...
var req = new Array();
req[idShout - 1] = ALL XML Data...
Here's what I got so far but it's not working at all :(
var idShout;
var req = new Array();
function htmlRequest(url, params, HttpMethod)
{
req[req.push] = ajax_function();
for (i=0;i<req.length;i++)
{
if (req[i])
{
if (HttpMethod == "GET")
{
req[i].onreadystatechange = function()
{
if (req[i].readyState != 4)
return;
if (req[i].responseText !== null && req[i].status == 200)
{
document.getElementById("shoutbox_area" + idShout).innerHTML = req[i].responseText;
}
}
}
req[i].open(HttpMethod,url,true);
if (HttpMethod == "POST")
req[i].setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
if (params == "")
req[i].send(null);
else
req[i].send(params);
return req[i];
}
else
return null;
}
}
function ajax_function()
{
var ajax_request = null;
try
{
// Opera 8.0+, Firefox, Safari
ajax_request = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
catch (e)
{
// IE Browsers
try
{
ajax_request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
}
catch (e)
{
try
{
ajax_request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
catch (e)
{
//No browser support, rare case
return null;
}
}
}
return ajax_request;
}
function send()
{
var send_data = "shoutmessage=" + document.getElementById("shout_message" + idShout).value;
var url = smf_prepareScriptUrl(smf_scripturl) + "action=dreamaction;sa=shoutbox;xml;send_shout="+ idShout;
htmlRequest(url, send_data, "POST");
document.getElementById("shout_message" + idShout).value = "";
document.getElementById("shout_message" + idShout).focus();
return true;
}
function startShouts(refreshRate, shoutCount)
{
clearInterval(Timer[shoutCount-1]);
idShout = shoutCount;
show_shouts();
Timer[shoutCount - 1] = setInterval("show_shouts()", refreshRate);
return;
}
function show_shouts()
{
var url = smf_prepareScriptUrl(smf_scripturl) + "action=dreamaction;sa=shoutbox;xml;get_shouts=" + idShout;
htmlRequest(url, "", "GET");
}
Any help at all on this would be greatly appreciated...
Basically, I'm setting the Timer Arrays in a different function before this, and I call startShouts which is supposed to show all of the information, but startShouts gets called more than once, which is why I have idShout set to equal shoutCount. So it will go something like this: shoutCount = 1, shoutCount = 2, shoutCount = 3, everytime it is being called. So I set the req[idShout - 1] array and it should return the result right??
Well, I get no errors in Firefox in the error console with this code above, but it doesn't work... Any ideas anyone?? As it needs to output into more than 1 area... argg.
Thanks for any help you can offer here :)
Thanks guys :)
