[md2281]

Maybe it’s me but XMLHttpRequest and ActiveXObject are unrecognized and throw compiler warnings, any way around this as I like to keep the warnings dialog empty.

This is a simple stand alone JS file.

[Riyad Kalla]

Can you paste an example file for us please?

[md2281]

function NodeAsync(url, fields, callback)
{
    // code for Mozilla, etc.
    NodeXmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    if (!NodeXmlHttp) { NodeXmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); }
    if (NodeXmlHttp)
    {
        NodeXmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
        NodeXmlHttp.onreadystatechange = callback;
        NodeXmlHttp.open("POST",url,true);
        NodeXmlHttp.setrequestheader('Content-Type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'); 
        if ( fields && fields.length > 0 )    { NodeXmlHttp.send(fields.join('&')); }
        else                                { NodeXmlHttp.send(null); }
    }    
}

I can’t reproduce this, when I paste this into a flie (test.js) and open it and save it and validate it, no errors or warnings are marked anywhere. If you close the file then right-click on it and do Open With > MyEclipse Javascript Editor, does it work? I wonder if you are using another editor.

hello,

I can reproduce it:

function retrieveUrlForProcess(url,process){
var stateHandler;
var req;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { // Non-IE browsers
req = new XMLHttpRequest();
isIE=false;
} else {
if (window.ActiveXObject) { // IE
req = new ActiveXObject(“Microsoft.XMLHTTP”);
}
}
..
I see 2 warnings:
XMLHttpRequest declaration is not found
ActiveXObject declaration is not found

I’am using the MyEclipse javascript editor.

regards. Jürgen

Ahh got it, I see them now. I’ll report the issue.

[mcarr67]

Any update on this?

[Riyad Kalla]

Warnings are still marked as the JS validator doesn’t know about these objects (yet).

[mcarr67]

Can we switch it to use IE and still debug?

[Riyad Kalla]

No, debugging JS is only done using the internal Web 2.0 Browser. In 5.0 GA this process is going to be streamlined a lot.

These warnings still occur in 5.0GA. Is this just going to be “the way it is” with the JavaScript editor in ME? If so, kinda a bummer.. I was looking forward to some codeinsight support on those objects..

[Riyad Kalla]

There is a long way to go with the JS editor and it will improve over time, this definately isn’t “the way it is”, just “the way it was for 5.0 so we could get the 100 or so other features in instead of just the improved JS editor” 🙂

[David Orriss Jr]

LOL! Fair enough. Thanks for the update, Riyad! 🙂
