ajax 不错的应用

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

var http_request = false;

function makeRequest(url) {

http_request = false;

if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { // Mozilla, Safari,...
            http_request = new XMLHttpRequest();
            if (http_request.overrideMimeType) {
                http_request.overrideMimeType('text/xml');
            }
        } else if (window.ActiveXObject) { // IE
            try {
                http_request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
            } catch (e) {
                try {
                    http_request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
                } catch (e) {}
            }
        }

if (!http_request) {
            alert('Giving up :( Cannot create an XMLHTTP instance');
            return false;
        }
        http_request.onreadystatechange = alertContents;
        http_request.open('GET', url, true);
        http_request.send(null);

}

function alertContents() {

                alert(http_request.responseText);
            } else {
                alert('There was a problem with the request.');
            }
        }
