I am new in web, I am serving an html when a button is clicked on the client side through a request, the body response of that request is the html. How can I retrieve the html or body response from the client side?
I am trying with this code but everything is empty:
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open(signedRequest.method, signedRequest.url, true); console.log('xhr.response: ', xhr.response); console.log('xhr.responseText: ', xhr.responseText); console.log('xhr.responseXML: ', xhr.responseXML); document.write('<p>xhr: ' + xhr + '</p>'); xhr.send();
Any idea on how to obtain the body response in the client-side?

Try to add a div or any input element with the id “demo” and try to run the code below.
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() { if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) { document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "<strong>The response from the test URL is: </strong>" + this.responseText; console.log(JSON.parse(this.response)); } }; xhttp.open("GET", "https://httpbin.org/get", true); xhttp.send();
<div id="demo"></div>
