### Functions

### OpenLayers. nullHandler

> OpenLayers.nullHandler = function( | request | )

@param {} request

### loadURL

> OpenLayers.loadURL = function( | uri,
> | params,
> | caller,
> | onComplete,
> | onFailure | )

Background load a document. For more flexibility in using XMLHttpRequest, see the OpenLayers.Request methods.

#### Parameters

uri | {String} URI of source doc
params | {String} or {Object} GET params. Either a string in the form “?hello=world&foo=bar” (do not forget the leading question mark) or an object in the form {‘hello’: ‘world’, ‘foo’: ‘bar}
caller | {Object} object which gets callbacks
onComplete | {Function} Optional callback for success. The callback will be called with this set to caller and will receive the request object as an argument. Note that if you do not specify an onComplete function, OpenLayers.nullHandler will be called (which pops up a user friendly error message dialog).
onFailure | {Function} Optional callback for failure. In the event of a failure, the callback will be called with this set to caller and will receive the request object as an argument. Note that if you do not specify an onComplete function, OpenLayers.nullHandler will be called (which pops up a user friendly error message dialog).

#### Returns

{OpenLayers.Request.XMLHttpRequest} The request object. To abort loading, call request.abort().

### parseXMLString

### OpenLayers. Ajax. Request

#### Parameters

url | {String}
options | {Object}

### Functions

### request

> request: function( | url | )

#### Parameters

url | {String}

### onStateChange

> onStateChange: function()

### setRequestHeaders

> setRequestHeaders: function()

### success

> success: function()

#### Returns

{Boolean} -

### getStatus

> getStatus: function()

#### Returns

{Integer} | Status

### respondToReadyState

> respondToReadyState: function( | readyState | )

#### Parameters

readyState | {?}

### getHeader

> getHeader: function( | name | )

#### Parameters

name | {String} Header name

#### Returns

{?} | response header for the given name

### dispatchException

> dispatchException: function( | exception | )

If the optional onException function is set, execute it and then dispatch the call to any other listener registered for onException.

If no optional onException function is set, we suspect that the user may have also not used OpenLayers.Ajax.Responders.register to register a listener for the onException call. To make sure that something gets done with this exception, only dispatch the call if there are listeners.

If you explicitly want to swallow exceptions, set request.options.onException to an empty function (function(){}) or register an empty function with OpenLayers.Ajax.Responders for onException.

#### Parameters

exception | {?}
