The content of this article is to briefly talk about the browser support of Ajax, so that everyone can understand the compatibility writing method of creating XMLHttpRequest object. It has certain reference value. Friends in need can refer to it. I hope it will be helpful to you.

First of all, we need to know that the key to Ajax is the XMLHttpRequest object, which can be used to exchange data with the server in the background. Ajax can obtain background data in the browser through it. [Recommended related video tutorials: Ajax Tutorial]

But different browsers have different methods of creating XMLHttpRequest objects. For example:

IE browser uses ActiveXObject to create, while other browsers use JavaScript built-in object named XMLHttpRequest to create.

This also leads to different browser support for Ajax. Not all browsers support Ajax. Let's take a look at the list of major browsers that support AJAX:

1, Mozilla Firefox 1.0 and above.

2. Netscape 7.1 and above.

3. Apple Safari 1.2 and above.

4. Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and above.

5. Konqueror.

6, Opera 7.6 and above.

To create this object for different browsers, we need to write a specific piece of code. Let's take a look at the compatibility writing method of creating an XMLHttpRequest object:

Here we need to use the try...catch statement in JavaScript. If you are not familiar with the try...catch statement, you can refer to the previous The article [What is the try...catch statement in js? how to use? ]!

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<meta charset="UTF-8">
		<script language = "javascript" type = "text/javascript">
         //浏览器支持代码
         function ajaxFunction() {
            var ajaxRequest;  // 声明一个ajaxRequest变量，用来保存XMLHttpRequest 对象

            try {
               // 兼容：Opera 8.0+, Firefox, Safari 
               ajaxRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); //创建XMLHttpRequest 对象
            } catch (e) {

               // 兼容：Internet Explorer 浏览器
               try {
                  ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
               } catch (e) {
                  
                  try {
                     ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
                  } catch (e) {

                     // 出了问题时
                     alert("您的浏览器不支持Ajax！");
                     return false;
                  }
               }
            }
         }
      </script>
	</head>
	<body>
		<form name = &#39;myForm&#39;>
	       姓名: <input type = &#39;text&#39; name = &#39;username&#39; /> <br />
	       时间: <input type = &#39;text&#39; name = &#39;time&#39; />
        </form>
	</body>
</html>

In the above JavaScript code, we try to create the XMLHttpRequest object three times.

Our first attempt:

// 兼容：Opera 8.0+, Firefox, Safari 
ajaxRequest = new XMLHttpRequest（）;

This statement works for Opera 8.0, Firefox and Safari browsers. If that fails, we can also try twice to make the correct object on the Internet Explorer browser:

Our second and third attempts: Compatible with Internet Explorer browser

//第二次尝试：
// 兼容：Internet Explorer 6.0+
ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject（“Msxml2.XMLHTTP”）;

//第三次尝试：
// 兼容：Internet Explorer 5.5+
ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject（“Microsoft.XMLHTTP”）;

If If none of these three methods work, the user's browser is out of date and he or she will see a prompt stating that the browser does not support AJAX.

Note:

The codes customized for the above browsers are very long and complex. However, this code comes in handy if you want to create an XMLHttpRequest object, so you can copy and paste this code whenever you need it. The above codes are compatible with all major browsers: Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox, Safari, etc.

Summary: The above is all the content introduced in this article, I hope it will be helpful to everyone's study.

Python vs. JavaScript: Community, Libraries, and ResourcesApr 15, 2025 am 12:16 AM

Python and JavaScript have their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of community, libraries and resources. 1) The Python community is friendly and suitable for beginners, but the front-end development resources are not as rich as JavaScript. 2) Python is powerful in data science and machine learning libraries, while JavaScript is better in front-end development libraries and frameworks. 3) Both have rich learning resources, but Python is suitable for starting with official documents, while JavaScript is better with MDNWebDocs. The choice should be based on project needs and personal interests.

From C/C to JavaScript: How It All WorksApr 14, 2025 am 12:05 AM

The shift from C/C to JavaScript requires adapting to dynamic typing, garbage collection and asynchronous programming. 1) C/C is a statically typed language that requires manual memory management, while JavaScript is dynamically typed and garbage collection is automatically processed. 2) C/C needs to be compiled into machine code, while JavaScript is an interpreted language. 3) JavaScript introduces concepts such as closures, prototype chains and Promise, which enhances flexibility and asynchronous programming capabilities.

JavaScript Engines: Comparing ImplementationsApr 13, 2025 am 12:05 AM

Different JavaScript engines have different effects when parsing and executing JavaScript code, because the implementation principles and optimization strategies of each engine differ. 1. Lexical analysis: convert source code into lexical unit. 2. Grammar analysis: Generate an abstract syntax tree. 3. Optimization and compilation: Generate machine code through the JIT compiler. 4. Execute: Run the machine code. V8 engine optimizes through instant compilation and hidden class, SpiderMonkey uses a type inference system, resulting in different performance performance on the same code.

Beyond the Browser: JavaScript in the Real WorldApr 12, 2025 am 12:06 AM

JavaScript's applications in the real world include server-side programming, mobile application development and Internet of Things control: 1. Server-side programming is realized through Node.js, suitable for high concurrent request processing. 2. Mobile application development is carried out through ReactNative and supports cross-platform deployment. 3. Used for IoT device control through Johnny-Five library, suitable for hardware interaction.

JavaScript: Exploring the Versatility of a Web LanguageApr 11, 2025 am 12:01 AM

JavaScript is the core language of modern web development and is widely used for its diversity and flexibility. 1) Front-end development: build dynamic web pages and single-page applications through DOM operations and modern frameworks (such as React, Vue.js, Angular). 2) Server-side development: Node.js uses a non-blocking I/O model to handle high concurrency and real-time applications. 3) Mobile and desktop application development: cross-platform development is realized through ReactNative and Electron to improve development efficiency.
