Yes it is. IE7 uses a native object instead of an ActiveX object for the
XMLHttpRequest.
Think about what that line says.
XMLHttpRequest without XMLHTTP?

As has already been mentioned the term AJAX implies the use of XML, but
it's sometimes a little fickle in my experience. Perhaps Roy made a
typo and intended to reference "http.responseText" instead of
"XMLHTTPRequest".
I always seem to run into small snags with XML and have resorted to
using simple character-delimited lists, when my problem domain doesn't
require anything more sophisticated. Here's an example of that, where
my data page will return a pipe-delimited list with 3 elements. For
example: "112197|1.4696248|0.5309032" which is the primary key of my
record, longitude, and latitude.
Even though this is a bastardization of "AJAX" it works well and saves
me a lot of headache.
RESPONSE HANDLER:
function useHttpResponse() {
if (http.readyState == 4) {
if(http.status == 200) {
if ( http.responseText.length ) {
var aLong = http.responseText.split('|');
lngPtr = document.getElementById(longAmt);
latPtr = document.getElementById(latAmt);
lngPtr.value = aLong[1];
latPtr.value = aLong[2];
}
}
}
}
DATA PAGE:
<?php
// include db and query components
require_once("qryMySQLConn.php");
require_once("qryDataUDF.php");
$rsZipDtl = getZipDetail($_GET[userString]);
if ( $rsZipDtl ) {
for ($i=0; $i<mysql_num_rows($rsZipDtl); $i++) {
$ntRowObj = mysql_fetch_object($rsZipDtl);
if($i) {
$cLineStr = "~";
}
else {
$cLineStr = "";
}
$cLineStr =
$cLineStr."$ntRowObj->zipID|$ntRowObj->zipRLongitude|$ntRowObj->zipRLatitude";
}
}
echo($cLineStr);
?>
