[T4] - Tapestry.bind basic Ajax example

[Loïc Talbot]

Hi there,

I'm trying to do an XHR request using the same method as "@DirectLink"
component.

Here is the code:

<script type="text/javascript">
        var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
        var content;
        function SendAjaxRequest() {
            tapestry.bind
("/PhoneBook/app?component=%24DirectLink&amp;page=majax&amp;service=direct");
            tapestry.load(xmlDoc);
            content = xmlDoc.responseXML;
        }
</script>
<p>
     <a href="#" onclick="SendAjaxRequest()">click here</a>
</p>

The server-side component does work when called when using DirectLink, but
when clicking the link as coded above it doesn't.
1./ in IE7 it simply doesn't work but the page is displayed
2./ in Firefox it doesn't display the whole page and Firebug sends an error
message:"uncaught exception: [Exception...' "Component returned failure
code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [
nsIXMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader]"

I know, I know there must be something I have misunderstood but I am a bit
lost.

I don't want to use DirectLink because the result of the XHR must be used in
another javascript function.

Any help/remarks ?
Thanks
Loïc
