I'm new to coding. I want to refresh
'Test text' in HTML div id='result' to 'Or something else' in data.php file
I don't understand why it is not working, because I copied that code from video course. I'm running those pages on Microsoft WebMatrix. I tried to install XAMPP but couldn't start Apache server. So I ended up to WebMatrix. Thanx for helping newbie
HTML file
<!DOCTYPE html>

}
xmlhttp.open('Get', 'data.php', true);
xmlhttp.send();
