7,876 PointsHow at assign innerHTML property in AJAX request
I do not understand what the the innerHTML property is requesting.
Can you check my code to see what I am missing?
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if(xhr.readyState===4){
if(xhr.status===200){
}
}
document.getElementById("sidebar").innerHTML};
xhr.open('GET', 'sidebar.html');
xhr.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="sidebar"></div>
</body>
</html>

to the innerHTML property you have selected.
And you should only do this inside the block where you've tested the status code to be sure the result is good.
