I tend to use the Prototype Ajax.Updater for this - http://prototypejs.org/api/ajax/updater You simply define a <div> with a container name, and then call Ajax.Updater passing the container name, URL and parameters, like this :- new Ajax.Updater('eventsblock', '/webdiary/index.php', { method: 'post', parameters: { task: 'ajaxshowmonth', newdate: newdate } , evalScripts: true} ); Your PHP script should return back the complete HTML, i.e. "<select>......</select>", which will be placed inside the <div>.
