Are Ajax requests available in IE 5.5 / Win 98? Sam _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs
As far as I know, all the way back to 5.0. Prototype, however, doesn''t work in 5.0, but does work in 5.5 when things like array.push() and for...in were added (odd that such basic language features were missing from 5.0).

Prototype, however, doesn''twork in 5.0, but does work in 5.5 when things like array.push() and for.in were added (odd that such basic language features were missing from 5.0). I''m getting an Ajax error loading a URL. I don''t have much diagnostic code... ;-) loadPageError: function(request) { alert(''An error occurred loading the URL: '' + this.URL); }, Does the parameter (request) or the "this" object hold error information that I can alert?

My earlier question wasn''t stated well...
I get an Ajax onFailure error in IE 5.5/Windows 98 only. Here''s the
request...
new Ajax.Request (
sUrl
{
method: ''get'',
parameters: '''',
onFailure: this.loadPageError.bind(this),
onComplete: this.loadPageFinish.bind(this),
onException: this.loadPageException.bind(this)
});
Looking at prototype.js, the success / failure routines are called with
parameters:
onSuccess(transport, json) OR onFailure(transport, json)
The parameter transport is confusingly referred to as "request" in
most
software I''ve seen using prototype.js, but transport does return
transport.status, which has a value of 501 in IE 5.5.
Using Google, "XMLHTTP 501", I found this thread
http://www.html.com/forums/javascript/10018-ajax-problem-501-not-implemented
.html
which goes into a lot of other detail on this error but suggests the server
is responding 501 because it receives a "get" not a "GET".
Now maybe Windows 98 should make this case-correction of get to GET, but I
simply changed my call (shown above) to method: "GET" and IE 5.5 /
Win98 is
working fine now.
Seems to me that this is a rare error, but prototype.js would be a better
place for this fix... especially since line 674:
if (this.options.method == ''get'' &&
parameters.length > 0)
will fail if the user passes "GET".

I think the fix for Ajax 501 error in prototype.js would be to force the
method to upper case on the transport.open line 679
this.transport.open(this.options.method.toUpperCase(), this.url,

That would definitely do it. Send a bug report to Sam, who maintains
prototype. He''s never replied to my bugs in the past, but most of them
eventually got fixed. Should probably also fix that line where it looks
for ''get'' to compare in lower case, while you''re at
it. That way it''ll
accept any case and send it on correctly.
if (this.options.method.toLowerCase() == ''get'')

I don''t have any idea how to log a bug report so if anyone here would
do it
that would be fine with me.

It''s good for the soul. And it tastes great. AND it''s less filling. http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ Like Gregory said though; Sam (the maintainer) isn''t very responsive to his users / contributors. Sad. Todd
