將 Javascript 獨立成檔案。在 <script…> 和 </script> 中間最好空一格，不然有些瀏覽器無法載入！

  <script type="text/javascript" src="ajax.js"> </script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="coffee.js"> </script>

第一個 div，主要控制 coffeemaker1-status 中的文字。

    <div id="coffeemaker1">
      <h2>Coffee Maker #1</h2>
      <p><img src="images/CoffeeMaker1.gif" alt="Coffee Maker #1" /></p>
      <div id="coffeemaker1-status">Idle</div>
    </div>

  <form>    // 整個網頁的第一個 form
    ...
    // forms[0].size
    <input type="radio" name="size" value="small" checked="true">Small</input>
    <input type="radio" name="size" value="medium">Medium</input>
    <input type="radio" name="size" value="large">Large</input>
    ...
    // forms[0].beverage
    <input type="radio" name="beverage" value="mocha" checked="true">Mocha</input>
    <input type="radio" name="beverage" value="latte">Latte</input>
    <input type="radio" name="beverage" value="cappucino">Cappucino</input>

function createRequest() {
  var request = null;
  try {
      request = new XMLHttpRequest();
  } catch (trymicrosoft) {
      ......  // for M$
  }

  if (request == null)
      alert ("Error creating request object!");
  else {

// 分成兩個要求，避免後面的請求把前面的蓋掉

當伺服器的回應完成之後，備妥狀態為 4，即時再度請求物件，也無法重新設定備妥狀態，使 request1.readyState == 4 會永遠成立，但 readyState 是唯獨屬性，只能由瀏覽器去更改，因此以建立新物件的方式重設備妥狀態。

function serveDrink() {
  if (request1.readyState == 4) {
    if (request1.status == 200) {
      var response = request1.responseText;    // 取得 server 傳回來的資料

      var name = response.substring(1,response.length);

      if (whichCoffeemaker == "1") {
        var coffeemakerStatusDiv1 = document.getElementById("coffeemaker1-status");
        replaceText(coffeemakerStatusDiv1, "Idle");
      } else {
        var coffeemakerStatusDiv2 = document.getElementById("coffeemaker2-status");
        replaceText(coffeemakerStatusDiv2, "Idle");
      }

      alert(name + ", your coffee is ready!");
      request1 = createRequest();    // 利用重新創造一個新物件的方式讓 readyState 重設
    }
  } else if (request2.readyState == 4) {
      if (request2.status == 200) {
        ... ... 同上 1 ... ...
      } else
          alert("Error! Request status is " + request.status);
  }
}

// 從網頁表單接受訂單

                                                  + size + " " + beverage);

    var url = "coffeemaker.php?name=" + escape(name) + "&size=" + escape(size) + "&beverage=" + escape(beverage) + "&coffeemaker=1";
    sendRequest(request1, url);
