I am currently developing a project using jquery ajax functions. I just want the ajax function to display some text from a file on the server when a button is clicked, but when I click the button it does nothing. I tried adding an error message but that doesn't seem to work either. I've made sure to use a version of jquery that supports ajax functionality, I've even copied and pasted code from a source that I know works, but nothing seems to work.
My java script file
window.onload=loadDoc();
$(document).ready(function(){ // the function that should be getting called
$("#accountInfo").click(function(){
$.ajax({url: "accountPerks.txt",
error: function(xhr, status, error) {
var err = eval("(" + xhr.responseText + ")");
alert(err.Message);
},
success: function(result){
$("#perksDiv").text(result);
}});
});
});
//everything below here are functions for separate pages
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#member1Info").click(function(){
$("#BandMember1").css("visibility", "visible");
});
});
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#member2Info").click(function(){
$("#BandMember2").css("visibility", "visible");
});
});
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#member3Info").click(function(){
$("#BandMember3").css("visibility", "visible");
});
});
function newAlbum(){
var node = document.createElement("li");
var textNode = document.createTextNode("aaaaallllpxas(2023)");
node.appendChild(textNode);
document.getElementById("albumList").appendChild(node);
$("#sneakPeak").css("visibility", "hidden");
}
var getAlbum = document.getElementById("sneakPeak");
getAlbum.onclick=function(){
newAlbum();
}
function loadDoc() {
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function(){
if(xhttp.readyState == 4 && xhttp.status == 200){
document.getElementById("ExtraText").innerHTML = xhttp.responseText;
}
};
xhttp.open("GET", "TourInfo.txt", true);
xhttp.send();
}
The page I want the text file to appear on

Use only 1 document function, if you use too many $(document) functions, only the last function will be returned in the response.
$(document).ready(function(){ //use one doc ready and do your code in this })And use the other functions you want to run that will be loaded in the window.load function
