Connecting to Salesforce.com using AJAX toolkit
I have an application external from SFDC written in html/Javascript that needs to be able to query lead information for a specified sales rep within SFDC. I am looking at the AJAX Developers toolkit but I am having problems creating the connection and loging in. I have included <script src="/soap/ajax/20.0/connection.js" type="text/javascript"></script> in my javascript code, but continue to receive error "Error: System error: -2146697211." when trying to issue the login command formatted as
var result = sforce.connection.login("xxx-id", "xxx-password");
What is needed to create a connection and login thru javascript
Hey,
Do you have complete URL for script files /soap/ajax/20.0/connection.js
If yes please let me know I want same
Thanks,
Bala
Hi.
I have a problem something similar. In my .html have the reference a connection.js of the same way the says tutorial:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/soap/ajax/20.0/connection.js" ></script>
But, I have a error:
ReferenceError: sforce is not defined
How do you fix it?
If you are not on the salesforce.com server (i.e. a mashup on another server, or a desktop widget), you must include the full path to the script, including the server name.
You need to use the full path to the script, or you need to download the script and save a copy to your own website.
The script can be found in a location such as the following:
http://na7.salesforce.com/soap/ajax/21.0/connection.js
I have Used following code in Asp.net .When I run this page on web Browser .I get following Error.
ReferenceError: sforce is not defined.
Please give me specific solution.

Does /soap/ajax/20.0/connection.js exist on your server? If not, then that is why sforce is not defined. Use the full canonical address (e.g. https://na1.salesforce.com/soap/ajax/20.0/connection.js) if you wish to include it from the salesforce.com servers. Please note that XSS security might prevent the browser from connecting successfully anyways. If you're trying to use the API from ASP directly (recommended), try using the WSDL instead.
I have used this API "https://na1.salesforce.com/soap/ajax/20.0/connection.js" in aspx page and run this page on web browser .
Again get the Following Error.
Please give me the solution.

That suggests to me that the JavaScript is attempting to access the current server (your web site!), and, of course, the API doesn't exist there, and so your script fails. Instead of attempting to connect to salesforce.com through your JavaScript, you should focus on connecting to salesforce.com through server logic (WSDL and the like), and have your page's JavaScript request data through an endpoint on your server.
I am trying to call salesforce using AJAX tookit from external webpage. it is not working for me.
can i know, how you resolved this issue.
Please let me know.
