Hello. I'm trying to get a "simple" ajax going, but the half-dozen examples I've tried do not work.
It Should simply run/activate a PHP script every 5 or 10 seconds, then display the output in the specified DIV.
however, when I go to the developer tools, it says there is something wrong with the ajax line
Stupid query 1:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="" />
Do I need to 'load' Ajax somehow - like _javascript_ ? I do not see this in ANY examples/tutorials I see.

EXAMPLES:-
<script type="text/_javascript_">
function updateShouts(){
// Assuming we have #shoutbox
$('#rot').load('rotatestats.php'); << PROBLEM LINE
}
setInterval( "updateShouts()", 10000 );
</script>
{/literal}
<div id="rot">
NEW:
</div>
END EXAMPLES
Here are 2 examples I've tried (apparently these are accepted answers to other peoples queries)
I did the full https://domain.com/rotatestats.php and /rotatestats.php - still same problem.
ONE:
<script type="text/_javascript_">
setInterval(function()
{
$.ajax( "/rotatestats.php" ).done(function(res) { <<< PROBLEM LINE
document.getElementById("rot").innerHTML = res;
})
},
3000);
</script>
=================
TWO :-
setInterval(function()
{
$.ajax( "/rotatestats.php" ).done(function(res) { <<< PROBLEM LINE
document.getElementById("rot").innerHTML = res;
})
},
3000);
</script>

TWO :-
<script type="text/_javascript_">
function updateShouts(){
// Assuming we have #shoutbox
$('#rot').load('rotatestats.php'); << PROBLEM LINE
}
setInterval( "updateShouts()", 10000 );
</script>
{/literal}
<div id="rot">
NEW:
</div>
END EXAMPLES
ERROR MESSAGE IN DEVELOPER TOOLS:
Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined
at updateShouts (*WORD*:358:5)
at <anonymous>:1:1
at updateShouts (*WORD*:358:5)
at <anonymous>:1:1
The WORD is some HTML output I do previous to the script. its NOT part of the script / div..
apparently it IS refreshing - which is good, but the output isn't appearing
Are these two nearly there? I'm not sure what the problem is with the PHP script. if I go to the script directly, it displays a random number.. (Once I get it going, I'll fix up the script to do what I want.
