Hi Jon,

To my knowledge none of the major browsers support HTML forms using anything
but GET and POST. This is a user agent issue; not a server issue. (Some
frameworks use JS to intercept form submissions and perform them via XHR, which
can use other methods.) I haven't had a chance to take a close look at your
code, so I don't have anything to say about your attempts to use XHR.
Hmm. If that's true it's very disappointing. This is a database
middleware app that's getting bigger by the hour (24 servlets and
counting). I certainly can get by with just GET and POST, but the
servlet URLs will get long and (to me) unwieldy ... I was hoping to keep
them short(er) with a CRUD interface, and also to test my servlets
without too much Javascript [ browser programming being neither my
forte nor my duty on this project ].
There's still something bogus: even with XHR, the right functions
aren't being called. DELETE works sometimes but sometimes not even
twice in a row. PUT never works. It may be a problem with how I'm
using it ... but it's pretty simple and I've had no issues at all using
GET or POST. I'll have to get the browser guy to take a look at it.
As a certain bear said: "Oh, bother!!!"
And Jay ... if this is all because I'm stupid, I apologize for wasting
for your time.
Thanks,
George
