Re: Can you parse JSON with the eXist database?

Okay, I was stupid and forgot to add the send command.  But this still
didn't fix the problem.  Here is my adjusted code:

function Setup() {
    var XMLHttp;
    var JSON_Data;

    XMLHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    XMLHttp.open("GET", "
http://localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/apps/HTML_Student/people.json", true);
        XMLHttp.onReadyStateChange = function(){

            document.getElementById("JSON_Text").value = "I'm right here.";

        };
XMLHttp.send();}

Unless I reposition my document.getElementById command, nothing will appear
in my textbox.
