XMLHttpRequest() , Why does it not work..?
-
Hi All,
I’m building my first app in the Monaca IDE. I want to include an external db, but i go step by step.I use an example from w3schools, see below.
It works fine with a local text file (that is: works in the IDE preview, not in the debugger).
It doens’t work when i copy the file to a website and change the URL accordingly to:
var url = "http://learningspaceship.com/myTutorial.txt";
The app (in browser and in debugger) does not see the file. But i can see the file in my browser.
What to do…?
SCRIPT FROM W3SCHOOL.COM
<div id=“id01”></div>
<script>
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
var url = “myTutorial.txt”;xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {
var myArr = JSON.parse(xmlhttp.responseText);
myFunction(myArr);
}
};
xmlhttp.open(“GET”, url, true);
xmlhttp.send();function myFunction(arr) {
var out = “”;
var i;
for(i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
out += ‘<a href="’ + arr[i].url + ‘">’ +
arr[i].display + ‘</a><br>’;
}
document.getElementById(“id01”).innerHTML = out;

i did see the post on the Cordova Whitelist, but is says: By default, new apps are configured to allow access to any site.
Maybe it’s not so…

No, it is true. In the XML config it says: <access origin="*"/> already.
