Eric, could I suggest using Prototype (http://www.prototypejs.org/) instead of your own code. It's very easy to use, like this :- <script src="prototype.js"></script> <script> function update_content() { new Ajax.Updater('dynamic', 'ajaxtest.php', { method: 'post', parameters: { task: 'details' } }); } </script> The full PHP script would look like this :- <?php if (@$_POST['task'] == "details") { echo "This is some text returned from the PHP engine via AJAX"; exit; } ?> <html> <head> <title>Ajax Test</title> <script src="prototype.js"></script> <script> function update_content() { new Ajax.Updater('dynamic', 'ajaxtest.php', { method: 'post', parameters: { task: 'details' } }); } </script> </head> <body> <table border="1" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="33%" onclick="update_content()"><a href="#">Update content</a></td> <td width="33%"> </td> <td width="34%"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="33%"> </td> <td width="33%"><div id="dynamic">I am going to put some content here</div></td> <td width="34%"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="33%"> </td> <td width="33%"> </td> <td width="34%"> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Robert. -----Original Message----- From: php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jaldip Upadhyay Sent: 20 March 2007 03:18 To: php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: php ajax Hi Eric, You have created Javascript(Ajax) functions but you have not made call for that code I guess. You should have called the functions from your html part like onload(load******) or onclick(load******) Thanks eric amougou <americkfr@xxxxxxxx> wrote: Hello, could anybody tell me what s wrong with my php ajax scripts. they don t give any result in the section they should be fullfilling.
