I've done 3 functions to optimize the XMLHttpRequest:
function _ (x){
return document.getElementById(x);
}
function ajaxObj (meth, url){
var x = new XMLHttpRequest();
x.open(meth, url, true);
x.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
return x;
}
function ajaxReturn (x){
if(x.readyState==4 && x.status==200){
return true;
}
}
I call the 3 functions this way:
function ativar(){
var codigo=_("codigo").value;
var ajax = ajaxObj("POST", "verif_cad.php");
ajax.onreadystatechange = function() {
if(ajaxReturn(ajax) == true) {
alert(ajax.responseText);
}
}
ajax.send("codigo="+codigo+"&us="+u);
}
When I use html () or innerHTML of the ajax response through ajax.responseText I have no problem. But when I want to compare the answer with an if, or use the answer as a numeric variable, it does not work because it "looks dirty" as in that image obtained by alert (ajax.responseText):
HowdoIgetthe"clean" answer, in this case 48?
