I have basically this on a page:
<script type="text/javascript">
function refresh_context() {
$("#ajax-context").html("
Searching...");
$.get("/ajax/ldap_search.php", {cn: $("#username").val()}, function(xml) {
$("#ajax-context").html($("display", xml).text());
$("#context").val($("context", xml).text());
}, 'xml');
}
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#username").blur(refresh_context);
});
</script>
<input type="text" name="username" id="username" maxlength="255" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="context" id="context" value=""/>
<div id="ajax-context"></div>
What it should do (and does fine on Firefox) is when you type a username in to the #username field, it will run /ajax/ldap_search.php?cn=$username, which searches our company's ldap for the username and returns it's raw context and a formatted version of the context like this:
<result>
<display>Staff -> Accounting -> John Smith</display>
<context>cn=jsmith,ou=Accounting,ou=Staff,ou=Users,o=MyOrg</context>
</result>
The formatted version (display) goes to the div #ajax-context and goes to the hidden input #context. (Also, the - are actually - "& g t ;" (without spaces)).
However, on IE the div stays stuck on "
Searching..." and the hidden input value stays blank.
I've tried both .get and .post and neither work. I'm sure it's failing on the .get because if I try this, I don't even get the alert:
$.get("/ajax/ldap_search.php", {cn: $("#username").val()}, function() {
alert("Check");
});
Also, IE doesn't give me any script errors.
Edit: Added "$(document).ready(function() {", the .blur was already in it in my code, but I forgot to include that in my post.
Edit 2: The request is being sent and apache2 is receiving it:
10.135.128.96 - - [01/May/2009:10:04:27 -0500] "GET /ajax/ldap_search.php?cn=i_typed_this_in_IE HTTP/1.1" 200 69
