In IE, the data can be updated only when the sendStocks() is completed. That means users need to wait and wait, and the data is updated with whole table.

But in Firefox, the data can be updated individually. Do you have any ideas on it?

Thanks.

Thanks for tutorial :) It’s a very good tutorial, it’s really help me a lot to understand this process.

I’m trying to run the example using IE 8 and Firefox 3.5.3
But unfortunately I can’t get the stock value, it keep at status “wait”.

Is there any settings that I need to do for this two browsers?

Thanks

I found out why it does not work on IE, the problem on IE is that you cannot change tables content via innerHTML.
It gives Unknown Runtime Error.

You did not receive any error because you did not change the table through it’s ID but you tried to change the td tag. td is under table tag so probably it end up with same issue but without displaying the error.

Try to get rid of the table and use div,… or create the whole string table and assign to a div innerHTML, something like this:
-> in jsp page:
<div id=”stocks_table”></div>
-> in java servlet:
utilAll.setValue(”stocks_table”,”<table><tr><td>”+Value+”</td></tr>” + another_tr… and so on +”</table>”);

Finally….after searching the web for hours, for a good AJAX push tutorial, I found yours..
I’m at my last semester of Advanced Computer Studies, and I’m a week away from handing in my final rapport. Your step-by-step tutorial was easy to read and use.

I have tried a lot of other tutorials, it seems like you just know a bit too little, or there is missing some information, that is apparently obvious to everyone but you, and the result is that it doesn’t work, and you have learned nothing.

So thank You, from me and other noobs like me.
It was just what I needed to top off my rapport, I’ll make sure to give You credit in the rapport.

By the way, I would like it to push data without clicking the button, so I put the getStocks() function in the body onload:

It seems to work, but not always…sometimes you need to open another window, and then the first window works!!!

Is there a better way to do it?

I tried your example and get it to compile and load the web page but the stock value does not change or update simply says wait.

thanks in advance
