problem with AJAX

[alvaroag]

I have a photo gallery using AJAX. When the user clicks on the photo thumbnail, the image should appear on the top of the page, inside a div writen dinamically using javascript. That works OK under Opera, Firefox, and IE7. But the problem is when using IE6. The image doesn't appears. And most of my users use IE6. Does anyone knows how to fix this? The website is http://larcenciel2006.x10hosting.com/phalbum.php?ajax=1.

Thanks

most likely your using the wrong connection
in internet explorer you have to use activex objects...
heres my function i cant remember where i got it it was a while ago.

function getHTTPObject() {
  var xmlhttp;
  /*@cc_on
  @if (@_jscript_version >= 5)
    try {
      xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
    } catch (e) {
      try {
        xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
      } catch (E) {
        xmlhttp = false;
      }
    }
  @else
  xmlhttp = false;
  @end @*/
  if (!xmlhttp && typeof XMLHttpRequest != 'undefined') {
    try {
      xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    } catch (e) {
      xmlhttp = false;
    }
  }
  return xmlhttp;
}
var http = getHTTPObject();

then just use http.open, http.send, ect.

added the jscript connection part, but still it doesn't works. I works on Opera 9.02, IE 7, Firefox 2.0, and K-Meleon 1.02. But it doesnt works on IE6. The mthumbnails are shown up without problems, but when you click on an thumb it should show you the big image on the upper part, but that big image(640*480) doesn't shows up only with IE6.

add some fotos so i can test it please.

[alvaroag]

there are a lot of photos... but they are inside the different categories. try with this : http://larcenciel2006.x10hosting.com...p?ajax=1&gtc=9 . that link will take you directly to one of the categories.

add the if statement

if (AJAX_Object.readyState == 4){
}

to your function that actually diplays the image.

EDIT: nope nvm i dont think thatll make a difference sorry dude cant help you.

I see photos after doing right-click -> show images on image space.

Maybe there is a problem with image showing?

im not sure how his display image function works but maybe try using the DOM method if you arent already.

should be able to google it.

oh wait you dont even need to use ajax to display the images, just for the comments, for the image you can just do

document.getElementById('imagediv').innerHTML = "html code to display image';

or even better use the DOM method like i mentioned before.

document.createElement(’img’);
img.src = "image.gif";

I hadn't tried that before(right click->show image). that way, it works. but when i tried to make that refresh automatically, it didn't worked. thanks anyway.

I don't use exactly the .innerHTML property, because of compatibility issues(not al browsers support that). instead, I use a function which selects automatically between three methods of writing a div. the innerHTML is one of them.

The DOM usage was a great idea. i'm now using it for the image showing, and it works under any navigator(IE6,IE7,Firefox 2,Opera 9, K-Meleon 1, and maybe more). I'm planning to convert the rest of the page to use DOM. It's really better than writing the HTML code directly.

thanks a lot!
