Unable to send '+' through AJAX post?
- by Harish Kurup
I am using Ajax POST method to send data, but i am not able to send '+'(operator to the server i.e if i want to send 1+ or 20k+ it will only send 1 or 20k..just wipe out '+')
HTML code goes here..
<form method='post' onsubmit='return false;' action='#'>
<input type='input' name='salary' id='salary' />
<input type='submit' onclick='submitVal();' />
</form>
and javascript code goes here,
function submitVal()
{
var sal=document.getElementById("salary").value;
alert(sal);
var request=getHttpRequest();
request.open('post','updateSal.php',false);
request.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.send("sal="+sal);
if(request.readyState == 4)
{
alert("update");
}
}
function getHttpRequest()
{
var request=false;
if(window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
request=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else if(window.ActiveXObject)
{
try
{
request=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
}
catch(e)
{
try
{
request=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
catch(e)
{
request=false;
}
}
}
return request;
}
in the function submitVal() it first alert's the salary value as it is(if 1+ then alerts 1+), but when it is posted it just post's value without '+' operator which is needed...
is it any problem with query string, as the PHP backend code is working fine...
