I have a simple web page. All it has on it is a link. When the link is clicked an AJAX call is made to display a one sentence error message. This page is made up of four files. A message.txt file for the error message, index.html, JavaScript file and a file called .DS_Store. The files are located in the same folder inside my htdocs folder of the XAMPP directory. I am fairly certain the code for these files is correct because I down loaded them as-is from an authors web site of the book I am reading.
http://bulletproofajax.com/code/ chapter 3 AJAX test. I downloaded two example chapters from this site. Neither of them work on my computer, but both do work at the site I downloaded them from. As far as I can test, XAMPP is installed, configured and running properly. I installed XAMPP 2 years ago. Today I tested it with helloWorld PHP code and it seems to work. I am running Windows XP SP3. Why won't AJAX work? Any help thanks.
