11,797 Pointsdo onload in javascript is method or property?
shalom to everybody. i am trying to make a "number facts" game and using a xhr.open. in the function i wrote: "<script> let fact = document.querySelector('#fact'); let facttext = document.querySelector('#fact-text'); let numberinput = document.querySelector('#number-input'); // הרצת פונקציה numberinput.addEventListener('input', getFactAjax); function getFactAjax(){ let number = numberinput.value; let xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open('GET', 'http://numbersapi.com/'+number); xhr.onload = function(){ if(this.status == 200 && number != ''){ console.log(this.responseText); } } xhr.send(); } </script>"
but it is not working, the console log dont replay. i think that the problem is in the xhr.onload
