How will I show the data from my database when I view the page based on what is selected in my combo box?

When I view my sample.php page, I only see my combo box, and when I start to select a value from my combo box, that's when my data from database show which is from my getyear.php.
What I want to do is the moment I view that page with the default value which is, for instance, 2014-2016, I can already see the data from my getyear.php
This is what I have in my javascript:
/* event handler ~ no ajax function shown */
function showofficers(str){
if (str == "") {
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML = "";
return;
}
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
} else {
// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;
}
};
xmlhttp.open("GET","getyear.php?q="+str,true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
$(document).ready(function(){
var year = document.getElementById("year").value;
if (year =="") {
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML="";
return;
}
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
} else { // code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200) {
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}
mlhttp.open("GET","get_year.php?q="+year,true);
xmlhttp.send();
});
My div is:
<div id="txtHint"></div>

Just continue with:
if (year =="") {
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML="";
return;
} else {
showofficers(year);
};
and make sure the function showofficers is in context.

i think i am wrong here in this line
xmlhttp.open("GET", "testing.php?message="+ document.getElementById("message").value+"service="+document.getElementById("city").value, true);
How can i achieve my goal
Any help will be apprecieted

Your query string pairs need to be seperated with an ampersand:
xmlhttp.open("GET", "testing.php?message="+ document.getElementById("message").value+"&service="+document.getElementById("city").value, true);

How to pass input file name to xmlhttp.open as variable

I want to pass name of selected file. It works if i put "filename" instead url. Here is my test code. Please help me to get this working.
<input id="upload" type="file" />
<script>
document.getElementById('upload').onchange = uploadOnChange;
function uploadOnChange() {
var filename = this.value;
var lastIndex = filename.lastIndexOf("\\");
if (lastIndex >= 0) {
filename = filename.substring(lastIndex + 1);
}
var url='"'+filename+'"';
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,false);
xmlhttp.send();
xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;
var tag=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("tag");
}
</script>

Using JSON to parse xmlhttp.responseText for populating textboxes

How can JSON be used to parse xmlhttp.responseText? I can't seem to get textboxes populated using the parsed data. I tried using .value and .innerHTML with the dot notation with b.first and b.second used with json_encode from the loadTextBox.php file (see below), but the textboxes won't populate.
Main page code:
function loadDoc()
{
var xmlhttp;
// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
//code for IE6, IE5
else
{
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
var doc = window.document.createElement("doc");
var a = xmlhttp.responseText;
var b = JSON.parse(a);
document.getElementById("textbox").innerHTML=b.first;
document.getElementById("textbox2").innerHTML=b.second;
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","loadTextBox.php?id=4",true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
loadTextBox.php code:
<?php
---Placeholder for correct DB login info---
$result = $mysql->query("SELECT column_one FROM table_one");
while ($row = $result->fetch_object())
{
$queryResult[] = $row->present_tense;
}
$textboxValue = $queryResult[0];
$textboxValue2 = $queryResult[2];
echo json_encode(array('first'=>$textboxValue,'second'=>$textboxValue2));
?>

This is fully tested and works. Use as a starting point to accomplish what you are trying to do:
var url = "YOUR.php"
var ajax = new XMLHttpRequest();
ajax.open("GET", url, true);
ajax.send(null);
ajax.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (ajax.readyState == 4 && (ajax.status == 200)) {
console.log("ready")
var Data = JSON.parse(ajax.responseText);
console.log(Data);
console.log(Data.first);
} else {
console.log("not ready yet")
}
}
This assumes your JSON output is properly formatted as you stated:
{"first":"radim","second":"radi"}

I have figured out the underlying problem. Extra tags were being sent because I had unnecessary tags in my DB info file. Those tags were being sent in the responseText with {"first":"radim","second":"radi"}. So the code pertaining to ---Placeholder for correct DB login info--- was wrong. I also changed .innerHTML to .value and now it works as intended.
Main page code updated:
function loadDoc()
{
var xmlhttp;
// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
// code for IE6, IE5
else
{
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
var a = JSON.parse(xmlhttp.responseText);
document.getElementById("textbox").value=a.first;
document.getElementById("textbox2").value=a.second;
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","loadTextBox.php?id=4",true);
xmlhttp.send();
}

Automatically pass the retrieved value from a javascript function to another javascript function?

I have two inline java script functions, one intended to get a token value using xhr and second one will use that value to get the full response from server. But when i uploaded the same on server nothing happened.
Here goes the sample code:
function getUser(user)
{
var xmlhttp;
var result,x,i;
var uservalue=user;
var url="http://abc.xyz.com:8090/uauth/" +uservalue;
///here starts the getToken method..
var tokensave=function getToken(uservalue)
{
var xmlhttp;
var token,a,b;
var url="http://abc.xyz.com:8090/uauth/" +uservalue;
var data="op=login&pass=" +uservalue;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
if (xmlhttp==null)
{
alert ("Browser does not support HTTP Request");
return;
}
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.open("POST",url, true);
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;
token="";
a=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("token");
token=token + a.childNodes.nodeValue;
document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML=token;
}
};
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml");
xmlhttp.send(data);
return token;
}
var header="Xyz-Authorization: "+tokensave;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
if (xmlhttp==null)
{
alert ("Browser does not support HTTP Request");
return;
}
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.open("GET",url, true);
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;
result="";
x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("response");
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
result=result + x[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue + "<br />";
}
document.getElementById("myNewDiv").innerHTML=result;
}
};
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Xyz-Authorization: ", +tokensave);
xmlhttp.send();
}
HTML CODE:
<div id="myDiv"></div>
<br />
<br />
<div id="myNewDiv"></div >
<br />
<form>
<input name="textbox" id="textbox" type="text" />
<input name="buttonExecute" onclick="getUser(document.getElementById('textbox').value)" type="button" value="Get User" />
</form>
What's wrong with this apparoach?
Thanks in advance for your valuable help...

You need to use a return token in the first function and use it like this getUser(getToken(user))

Just create a global variable, and you set change the value inside de function but it's still accesible from a global scope for all the functions you want.
var data = false;
function getData() {
// some ajax...
data = {cool:true};
}
function foo () {
if(data.cool) {
alert (data.cool)
}
}
