http get request in JavaScript

Question

Can anyone tell me how to do HTTP GET request in JavaScript in Mac OS X dashcode widget?

Answer 1

You can make use of the XMLHttpRequest object provided by browsers(dashcode) to make HTTP requests in JavaScript like below:

function httpGet(theUrl)

{

    var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

    xmlHttp.open( "GET", theUrl, false ); // false for synchronous request

    xmlHttp.send( null );

    return xmlHttp.responseText;

}
