A simple JavaScript Library for sending Ajax Requests

This library is useful for sending HTTPRequests otherwise known as Ajax - Asynchronous Javascript and XML - To make use of this Library, add any of the Library Files "ajax-request.js" or "ajax-request.min.js" then call the sendxhr() function with 2 - 5 parameters.

The first parameter is the parameters as a string in the format "param1=value1&param2=value2" just like in GET Requests

The second parameter is the URL to send the requests to

The third parameter is the data type to be returned possible values are XML, JSON or HTML

The fourth parameter is the method to use in sending the request. Possible values are POST or GET

The fifth parameter is the callback to be executed after the request is completed, this callback should be passed a single parameter which is the response from the HTTPRequest

Code samples


 var params = "name="+encodeURIComponent("My Name");
 params += "&country="+encodeURIComponent("My Country");
 sendxhr(params, "serversidescript.php", "JSON", "POST", function(response){
  // callback function actions
 }, function(){
  // function to execute when an error occurs
 });
