The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Why doesn't this javascript ajax function return a value?

Asked by CoastalData in JavaScript, Dynamic HTML (DHTML)

Tags:

Hello Experts,

I have this relatively simple function which sort of works, but won't return a value for me to then assign to the innerHTML of a div:

/***********************************************
* Basic Ajax Routine- © Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
* Visit Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code
***********************************************/
function processGetPost(){
      var myajax=ajaxpack.ajaxobj
      var myfiletype=ajaxpack.filetype
      var myresponse
      if (myajax.readyState == 4){ //if request of file completed
            if (myajax.status==200 || window.location.href.indexOf("http")==-1){ //if request was successful or running script locally
                  if (myfiletype=="txt")
                        // works:
                        alert(myajax.responseText);
                        // returns undefined:
                        return(myajax.responseText);
                  else
                        return(myajax.responseXML);
            }
      }
}

I can see that the function works because I can use the alert to see the response, but for some unknown reason, I can't return that value to another function which then assigns the responseText to the innerHTML of a div on the page.

Could somebody please take a look and see if you can spot my error?

Thanks in advance!
