About

mhttpd.js contains javascript function wrappers for most MIDAS AJAX functions typically used for implementing interactive custom pages for MIDAS experiments.

AJAX is a set of web development techniques used to construct interactive web applications:

mhttpd.js is typically served by mhttpd from $MIDASSYS/resources/mhttpd.js

<html>
<head>
...
<script src='mhttpd.js'></script>
...
</head>

</html>

An example for using all mhttpd.js functions is included in the MIDAS distribution under examples/javascript1:

MIDAS AJAX functions can be accessed directly without using mhttpd.js wrappers (i.e. using the JSON-P script-tag method)
