Basic AJAX Script
<script language = "javascript">
var XMLHttpRequestObject = false;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
XMLHttpRequestObject = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
XMLHttpRequestObject = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
function getData(dataSource, divID) {
if(XMLHttpRequestObject) {
var obj = document.getElementById(divID);
XMLHttpRequestObject.open("GET", dataSource);
XMLHttpRequestObject.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (XMLHttpRequestObject.readyState == 4 && XMLHttpRequestObject.status == 200) {
obj.innerHTML = XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText;
}
}
XMLHttpRequestObject.send(null);
}
}
</script>
At the HTML just add this line :
onClick="getData('my_write.php?type=kingston','contentalt')"
var XMLHttpRequestObject = false;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
XMLHttpRequestObject = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
XMLHttpRequestObject = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
function getData(dataSource, divID) {
if(XMLHttpRequestObject) {
var obj = document.getElementById(divID);
XMLHttpRequestObject.open("GET", dataSource);
XMLHttpRequestObject.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (XMLHttpRequestObject.readyState == 4 && XMLHttpRequestObject.status == 200) {
obj.innerHTML = XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText;
}
}
XMLHttpRequestObject.send(null);
}
}
</script>
At the HTML just add this line :
onClick="getData('my_write.php?type=kingston','contentalt')"
- onClick is an event handler
- my_write.php is a processing page
- type=kingston is a parameter passed to my_write.php, named "type" and valued "kingston"
- contentalt is div id where the result from my_write.php will appears

Apache Error - localhost not working
Well, I've installed Apache 2 on my WinXP system. I currently use Windows Firewall & have checked to make sure it is not blocking Apache. I've tried both AppServ and XAMPP, and I got same error.
I can't find my localhost in the web browser & I've found the size of error log is 200MB with following message in the error log:
[Tue Oct 26 19:33:30 2008] [notice] Parent: Created child process 2384
[Tue Oct 26 19:33:31 2008] [notice] Child 2384: Child process is running
[Tue Oct 26 19:33:31 2008] [notice] Child 2384: Acquired the start mutex.
[Tue Oct 26 19:33:31 2008] [notice] Child 2384: Starting 250 worker threads.
[Tue Oct 26 19:33:31 2008] [error] (OS 10038)An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. : Child 2384: Encountered too many errors accepting client connections. Possible causes: dynamic address renewal, or incompatible VPN or firewall software. Try using the Win32DisableAcceptEx directive.
This problem can be solved easily, follow this step :
1. On the top of httpd.conf
2. Write this on a separate line : Win32DisableAcceptEx
3. Save the file
4. Restart the apache service
5. Finish
