Hi. I've gotten such error "Did you call send() on the request object?", however I don't know what is wrong. (Because I wrote "send();" in the request object.)Can you give me an advice please?
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (request.readyState === 4) {
document.getElementById("footer").innerHTML = request.responseText;
}
};
request.open("GET", "footer.html");
function sendAJAX() {
request.send();
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>AJAX with JavaScript</title>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main">
<h1>AJAX!</h1>
</div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</body>
</html>

3,150 PointsHi, I saw from another post that you don't have to make function sendAJAX() {
request.open("GET", "footer.html");
function sendAJAX() {
request.send();
}
Unless you call it in the index.html body like in the video tutorial which includes the
<button id="load" onclick="sendAJAX()">Bring it!</button>
Below is the straightforward answer to the challenge.
request.open("GET", "footer.html");
request.send();
