javascript variable value into jquery function

I'm creating a sign up page with inline validation, and having script for email availability in external file but pattern check inside the HTML using jquery but problem is css of elements doesn't change in email check script so i want to pass a variable value from external JavaScript to internal Jquery...
Help me out....
// JavaScript Document for live email availability check
function createXMLHttpRequest() {
var xmlhttp = false;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
try {
xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
}
catch (e) {
try {
xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
catch (e) {
xmlhttp = false;
}
}
}
return xmlhttp;
};
function AjaxFunctionusername(signupemail){alert('call');
var mygetrequest = new createXMLHttpRequest();
mygetrequest.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (mygetrequest.readyState == 4 && mygetrequest.status == 200){
arrRecevied = mygetrequest.responseText;
alert(arrRecevied);
if (arrRecevied > 0) {
}
else {
}
}
}
pars = "";
pars = "signupemail=" + signupemail;
domainUrl = "ckh_client.php?" + pars;
alert(domainUrl);
mygetrequest.open("GET", domainUrl, true);
mygetrequest.send();
}
i want aarReceived variable's value to be passed in jQuery as shown below...
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
//validation for invalid email ID
$("#signupemail").keyup(function(){
var msg = '';
var emmsg = '';
msg = document.getElementById('signupemail').value;
var emailReg = /^[+a-zA-Z0-9._-]+#[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$/i;
if (!emailReg.test(msg)) {
$(".validation-img-1").css("display", "block");
$(".validation-img-2").css("display", "none");
}
else if (emailReg.test(msg)) {
AjaxFunctionusername(msg);
}
});
//validation for invalid email ID ends here
});
</script>

Make the following changes-
function AjaxFunctionusername(signupemail){alert('call');
var arrRecevied=''; //Note the change. Do not create global vars.
var mygetrequest = new createXMLHttpRequest();
mygetrequest.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (mygetrequest.readyState == 4 && mygetrequest.status == 200){
arrRecevied = mygetrequest.responseText;
alert(arrRecevied);
if (arrRecevied > 0) {
}
else {
}
}
}
pars = "";
pars = "signupemail=" + signupemail;
domainUrl = "ckh_client.php?" + pars;
alert(domainUrl);
mygetrequest.open("GET", domainUrl, true);
mygetrequest.send();
return arrRecevied;
}
In your script,
if (!emailReg.test(msg)) {
$(".validation-img-1").css("display", "block");
$(".validation-img-2").css("display", "none");
}
else if (emailReg.test(msg)) {
var value= AjaxFunctionusername(msg);
//value is your arrRecevied
}

XMLHttpRequest loop memory leak

I'm trying to check many items against information on ajax URL. But when I'm running this function in browser, memory usage goes above 2 gigs and then browser crashes (Chrome, Firefox). What am I doing wrong? items variable is really big - >200 000 and also includes some large strings.
var items = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,...,300000]
var activeItems = {}
function loopAjax(){
for (i=0; i < items.length; i++) {
var currItem = items[i];
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
var found = 0
request.open("GET", "/item=" + currItem);
request.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (request.readyState == 4 && request.status == 200) {
var response = JSON.parse(request.responseText);
var active = response[0].active;
if (active) {
console.log("FOUND ACTIVE! " + currItem);
activeItems[found] = {"active": true, "item": currItem};
found++;
}
}
}
request.send();
}
}

Thank goodness the browser stalls and dies. If it didn't you just created a denial of service attack!
The problem needs to be reapproached. You better off creating a state machine which has a stack of requests in it. That way you only doing say 5 concurrent requests at a time.
function ItemChecker(sample_size, max_threads) {
this.sample_size = sample_size;
this.max_threads = max_threads;
this.counter = 0;
this.activeItems = [];
this.isRunning = false;
this.running_count = 0;
}
ItemChecker.prototype.start = function start() {
this.isRunning = true;
while (this.running_count < this.max_threads) {
this.next();
}
return this;
};
ItemChecker.prototype.stop = fucntion stop() {
this.isRunning = false;
return this;
};
ItemChecker.prototype.next = function next() {
var request, item_id, _this = this;
function xhrFinished(req) {
var response;
if (req.readyState !== 4) {
return;
}
_this.counter--;
if (req.status === 200) {
try {
response = JSON.parse(request.responseText);
if (response[0].active) {
_this.activeItems.push({
active: true,
item: item_id;
});
}
} catch(e) {
console.error(e);
}
// When finished call a callback
if (_this.onDone && _this.counter >= _this.sample_size) {
_this.onDone(_this.activeItems);
}
}
else {
console.warn("Server returned " + req.status);
}
}
if (!this.isRunning || this.counter >= this.sample_size) {
return;
}
item_id = this.counter;
this.counter++;
request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.onreadystatechange = xhrFinished;
request.open("GET", "item=" + item_id);
request.send();
};
ItemChecker.prototype.whenDone = function whenDone(callback) {
this.onDone = callback;
return this;
};
This might work? Didn't try it for real. But you would call it with:
var item_checker = new ItemChecker(300000, 5);
item_checker.whenDone(function(active) {
// Do something with active
}).start();

Javascript / ajax code - works in chrome and firefox but not in IE10

What I'm trying to do is limit the options of one select box based on what the user chooses in a prior select box. It works perfectly in Chrome and Firefox, but in IE 10 the only thing that shows up is the text "Not Found". I'm not sure, but my guess is that something is going wrong in request.status. What it is, however, I have no idea.
function prepForms() {
for (var i = 0; i<document.forms.length; i++) {
var thisform = document.forms[i];
var departCity = document.getElementById("departcity");
departCity.onchange = function() {
var new_content = document.getElementById("ajaxArrive");
if (submitFormWithAjax(thisform, new_content)) return false;
return true;
}
}
}
function getHTTPObject() {
if (typeof XMLHttpRequest == "undefined")
XMLHttpRequest = function() {
try { return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.6.0"); }
catch (e) {}
try { return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.3.0"); }
catch (e) {}
try { return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); }
catch (e) {}
return false;
}
return new XMLHttpRequest();
}
function submitFormWithAjax(whichform, thetarget) {
var request = getHTTPObject();
if (!request) {return false;}
var dataParts = [];
var element;
for (var i = 0; i<whichform.elements.length; i++) {
element = whichform.elements[i];
dataParts[i] = element.name + "=" + encodeURIComponent(element.value);
}
var data = dataParts.join("&");
request.open("POST", "flightlocationfilter.asp#ajaxArrive", true);
request.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (request.readyState == 4) {
if (request.status == 200 || request.status == 0) {
var matches = request.responseText.match(/<div id="ajaxArrive">([\s\S]+)<\/div>/);
if (matches.length > 0) {
thetarget.innerHTML = matches[1];
} else {
thetarget.innerHTML = "<p>--Error--</p>";
}
} else {
thetarget.innerHTML = "<p>" + request.statusText + "</p>";
}
}
};
request.send(data);
return true;
};
Edit: After walking through with the IE Developer Tools, it looks like the request.readyState is not moving beyond 1 to 4.

How can I change this variable with ajax?

I'm curious as to why this isn't working, here's the code:
function Ajax(sUrl, fCallback) {
var url = sUrl || '';
var callback = fCallback || function () {};
var xmlhttp = (function () {
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
return new XMLHttpRequest();
} else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
try {
return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.6.0");
} catch (e) {
try {
return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.3.0");
} catch (err) {
return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
}
} else {
return null;
}
}());
this.setUrl = function (newUrl) {
url = newUrl;
};
this.setCallback = function (func) {
callback = func;
};
this.request = function (method, data) {
if (xmlhttp === null) { return false; }
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (xmlhttp.readyState === 4) {
callback(xmlhttp.status, xmlhttp.responseXML, xmlhttp.responseText);
}
};
data = data || '';
data = encodeURIComponent(data);
if ((/post/i).test(method)) {
xmlhttp.open('POST', url);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
xmlhttp.send(data);
} else {
var uri = data === '' ? url : url + '?' + data;
xmlhttp.open('GET', uri);
xmlhttp.send();
}
return true;
};
return this;
}
var ajax = new Ajax(''); // sets the url, not necessary for this demonstration
var changed = false;
function change() {
changed = true;
}
function foo() {
ajax.setCallback(change);
ajax.request();
alert(changed);
}
foo();
There is a fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/dTqKG/
I feel like the change function would create a closure that would indeed change the changed variable. Does anyone know what's going on?

The ajax.request(); will return before change() is called. That is the async nature of the AJAX calls, and the reason why you need the callback as opposed to just getting return value from send() method.
Other than that there might be some other issues in the code. I question why wouldn't you use one of the many AJAX frameworks readily available instead of writing your own.

ajax synchronous call problem

I have an Ajax function which looks like :
function getData(p) {
loadingImage();
p = p.replace("frame_", "");
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
AJAX=new XMLHttpRequest();
} else {
AJAX=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
if (AJAX) {
var __page =encodeURIComponent(p);
AJAX.open("GET", "page.php?page="+__page, false);
AJAX.send(null);
var __data = AJAX.responseText.match(/<data>[\s\S]*?<\/data>/gmi);
if(!__data) { return false; }
return __data;
} else {
return false;
}
}
then i have very simple loading function ( an loading image must appear in center of page ) :
function loadingImage(type)
{
document.getElementById("body").innerHTML = "<div class='loading'></div>";
}
then how i call ajax function :
var loadedData = getData("home");
if(loadedData)
{
document.getElementById("body").innerHTML = loadedData;
}
else
{
document.getElementById("body").innerHTML = "Error";
}
but the loading image won't appear, it's quite simple, but i'm stuck here , how make it to show that loading image while requesting data, then to replace loading image with loaded data. Thanks

function getData(p, cb) {
loadingImage();
p = p.replace("frame_", "");
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
AJAX = new XMLHttpRequest();
} else {
AJAX = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
if (AJAX) {
var __page = encodeURIComponent(p);
AJAX.open("GET", "page.php?page=" + __page, true);
AJAX.onreadystatechange = function(e) {
if (AJAX.readystate === 4) {
var __data = AJAX.responseText.match(/<data>[\s\S]*?<\/data>/gmi);
cb(data);
}
};
AJAX.send(null);
} else {
cb(null);
}
}
getData("home", function(loadedData) {
if (loadedData) {
document.getElementById("body").innerHTML = loadedData;
}
else {
document.getElementById("body").innerHTML = "Error";
}
});
Use async = true in the .open call.
Bind an eventhandler to readystatechange. If the readystate is 4 (LOADED) then get the data and send it to your callback.
If the AJAX fails call the callback with null or false.
In your callback get the loadedData and either render it or throw an error if there is no data.
