7,097 PointsIn app.js, we've added an AJAX callback function. You need to complete the request. Add the code to open the AJAX reques
How can i do this?
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (request.readyState === 4) {
document.getElementById("footer").innerHTML = request.responseText;
request.open('GET','footer.html');
}
};
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>AJAX with JavaScript</title>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main">
<h1>AJAX!</h1>
</div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</body>
</html>

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 20,928 PointsHey pratyush raj,
Your code is correct but you need to include the open method
outside the code of block
.
Here's the code:
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (request.readyState === 4) {
document.getElementById("footer").innerHTML = request.responseText;
}
};
request.open('GET', 'footer.html');
Hope this helps!
