Working with Ajax... I cannot seem to figure out what is wrong here. The error occurs on the code: objUserID.innerHTML = username;. It thinks the variable username is null. username does have data in it because the following code confirms it: console.log("user: ["+username+"]"); Can anyone figure this out?
function actionBid(bidID,bidA,bidAction){
var XMLHttpRequestObject = false;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
XMLHttpRequestObject = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else if (window.ActiveXObject)
{
// code for IE6, IE5
XMLHttpRequestObject = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
if(XMLHttpRequestObject)
{
// ==== GET BID ====
if (bidAction == "getbid"){
var objUserID = document.getElementById("curBidUser"+bidID);
var res = XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText;
var username = res.substring(0,res.indexOf(','));
console.log("user: ["+username+"]");
objUserID.innerHTML = username;
}
}
}
It thinks the variable username is null
False. It is telling you that it cannot access the property innerHTML
of null
. In other words, that objUserID
is null and that you cannot access a property of it.
Put another way, your element does not exist.
