I need help with my Wikipedia Viewer. I am trying to use just JavaScript without JQuery so it looks like
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', searchURL, true);
xhr.onload = function() {
if (xhr.status === 200) {
setResults(JSON.parse(xhr.responseText));
} else {
console.log('Request failed. Returned ' + xhr.status);
}
};
xhr.send();
Here is the link to the entire Pen: Codepen
I’ve been working on this in my free time for over three weekend I’ve successfully used XMLHttpRequest for other API’s and I prefer it over JQuery so I’d like to stay with it if possible.
*note: I have walked through this step by step using the Firefox debugger and I couldn’t figure out what is wrong because if I copy and paste the link into the browser it gives the proper JSON file. Which makes it more frustrating.
