Hi,

When I try the code from w3c:
http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/ajax_source.asp

It returns a error gethint is not defined.

Anyone knows why this is,

thnx

I can't see any call to gethint, are you sure you copied the code correctly, it looks like the method is showHint().

Oops :s

I'm sorry about that.
I'm trying this ajax thing for hours so my eyes got a bit tired.
The exact error is in FireFox:
showHint is not defined.
In IE: object expected(I guess translated from dutch)

Do you have the:

Code:

<script src="clienthint.js"></script>

in the page?
If so then the clienthint.js file is not being found in the same folder as the web page.
Can you show your actual HTML page?

I have the tag described as above

here is my page

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<script src="clienthint.js"></script>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
<form> 
First Name:
<input type="text" id="txt1"
onkeyup="showHint(this.value)">
</form>

<p>Suggestions: <span id="txtHint"></span></p> 
</body>
</html>

I also tried to put the code inside the script tags

Go to your browser and type the address of the web page but replace the actual page name with "clientHint.js", if asked to open or save then save the file somewhere.
