Ajax - Cant pass value from jsp page to js
I want the program to works in this way where user selects a data in the list box and the final results will be display in the textbox.
The example from the tutorial is almost the same from my project except that the values retrieve from the jsp page will be display in the textbox instead of the div.
This are the codes:
In the javascript:
var xmlHttp
function showResults(str)
{
xmlHttp=GetXmlHttpObject()
alert("read this first" +xmlHttp);
if (xmlHttp==null)
{
alert ("Your browser does not support the XMLHttpRequest object.")
return
}
var url="getProject.jsp"
url=url+"?q="+str
url=url+"&sid="+Math.random()
alert("URL = " + url);
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged
xmlHttp.open("GET",url,true)
xmlHttp.send(null)
alert("read this" +xmlHttp);
}
function stateChanged()
{
alert("read this2");
if (xmlHttp.readyState==4 || xmlHttp.readyState=="complete")
{
document.getElementById("txtProject").innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText
}
}
function GetXmlHttpObject()
{
alert("read this3");
var objXMLHttp=null
try {
objXMLHttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); //later IE
} catch (e) {
try {
objXMLHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); //earlier IE
} catch (e) {
objXMLHttp = null;
}
In the client page, where the select list box named selSite and textbox name txtProject. This is the client page where user selects an item in the listbox and display the result in the textbox. Please do ignore the vector and if statement as i'm retrieveing the data from the database to be display in the list box.
<html>
<body>
<input type="text" name="txtProject" id="txtProject" size="20"> </td>
<%
Vector storageSite = new Vector();
newSiteObj siteObj = new newSiteObj();
storageSite = siteObj.retrieveSite();
System.out.println("In here");
%>
<select name="selSite" WIDTH="230" STYLE="width: 230px" id="selSite" onChange="return showResults(this.value)">
<%
if(storageSite.size()>0)
{
for(int i=0; i<storageSite.size(); i++)
{
newSiteBean siteBean = (newSiteBean) storageSite.elementAt(i);
out.println("<option name = idSite, value='"+ siteBean.getsite()+ "'>" +siteBean.getsite()+ "</option>");
}
}
%>
</select>
Lastly this is the jsp page where the retrieving of data is done. I have check the running of the code and the retrieving of data is successfully done and i store the data in the variable str_project. Now i wan to return the value of this variable back so it can be display on the client page but not successfully. Can any one help me with this. Thanks

<%
//System.out.println('In jsp Page");
String str_project;
String search = request.getParameter("q");
System.out.println("Search = " +search);
newSiteObj siteObj = new newSiteObj();
siteObj.retrieveSiteForAjax(search);
System.out.println("In here");
str_project = siteObj.getproject();
System.out.println("STRProject " +str_project);
out.println(str_project);
