Hi!

As I am new to jQuery i have to ask for the .post function!

I was using before the XMLHttpRequest object. But with this I got problems with special characters in the received XML. Changeing the encoding didn't help so far...

This I want to do:

Post an http request with an XML document and receive an XML response.

1. // Send the xHTTPRequest to the server in the browser adress
   function httprequest(xmlReqList)
   {
    // Überprüfen ob XMLHttpRequest-Klasse vorhanden und erzeugen von Objekte für IE7, Firefox, etc.
    if (typeof XMLHttpRequest != 'undefined')
    {
        xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    }
    
    // Wenn im oberen Block noch kein Objekt erzeugt, dann versuche XMLHTTP-Objekt zu erzeugen
    // Notwendig für IE6 oder IE5
    if (!xhttp)
    {
     try
     {
      xhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
     }
     catch(e)
     {
      try
      {
       xhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
      }
      catch(e)
      {
       xhttp = null;
      }
     }
    }
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
2.  if (xhttp)
    {
     xhttp.onreadystatechange = doHttpReadyStateChange;
     xhttp.open("POST","/cgi-bin/ILRReadValues.exe",true);
     xhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=UTF-8");
     xhttp.responseType = 'Document';
     xhttp.send(xmlReqList); 
    }
    */
   }
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. // Only need for old IExplorer Get Event new data
   function doHttpReadyStateChange()
   {
    if (xhttp.readyState == 4)
    {
     GetDataFromResponse(this);
    }
   }
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

The var xmlReqList is a XML DOM object:

1.       var parser=new DOMParser();
         var doc=parser.parseFromString(text,'text/xml');
   

If I try it with jQuery like this:

1.   var xmlstring = xmlReqList.xml;  
     $.post('/cgi-bin/ILRReadValues.exe' + xmlstring, { }, callback); 
   
3. function callback(content){ 
       /* do stuff with data.... */
   }
   
   

The response content is: 'Done.\r\n' and not the received XML??

Or do I handle wrong the .post function? How to pass directly the XML DOM object?
