Hi Shlomi/all,
i am simply trying to find a tool/module/method (as in English word method)
which would allow asynchronous XMLHTTPRequest to be sent to perl CGI programs
on my web server (or sub routines in a perl script) and return the value(s) to
webpage to be displayed in the div i want to display on.
reading on web , i figured CGI::Ajax does it by somehow tying a JavaScript
function (automatically generating JavaScript code and injecting in the perl
output) to a perl subroutine. So 1)it duplicates the code of the subroutine. 2)
its JavaScript code can not be cached on client and, has to be created and
transferred with every page load. 3) have dependency on CGI module. (meaning
even though i am generating my html using TToolkit, and doing my form
validation in JavaScript, i HAVE to load the extra code of CGI module, for
using CGI::Ajax).
i was wondering is this possible: [example from web, modified a bit]
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function processperlroutine()
{
var xmlhttp;
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}
xmlhttp.open("POST","/path/to/perlscript.pl",true);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h2>test</h2>
<textareavalue="one record in each line" class="validate[required]" type="text"
name="records" id="records" rows=5 cols=150></textarea> <p>
<b>save to file:</b> <inputclass="validate[required,custom[onlyLetterNumber]]
text-input" type="text" style="width:350px" name="outfile" id="outfile" /> <p>
<button type="button" onclick="processperlroutine()">process data</button>
<div id="myDiv"></div>
</body>
</html>

Yes, they can (including jQuery). What are you trying to do exactly?
