i found this script that would load external source content into a div tag without reloading a page but i dunno....the IE version doesnt seem to work
the php file echos a random record from a database
Code: Select all
<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="EXPIRES" CONTENT="Mon, 22 Jul 2002 11:12:01 GMT">
<script type="text/javascript">
var xmlhttp
function loadXMLDoc(url)
{
// code for Mozilla, etc.
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest()
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=state_Change
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true)
xmlhttp.send(null)
}
// code for IE
else if (window.ActiveXObject)
{
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
if (xmlhttp)
{
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=state_Change
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true)
xmlhttp.send();
}
}
}
function state_Change()
{
// if xmlhttp shows "loaded"
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4)
{
// if "OK"
if (xmlhttp.status==200)
{
document.getElementById('T1').innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText
}
else
{
alert("Problem retrieving data:" + xmlhttp.statusText)
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="loadXMLDoc('hot_tips_random_test.php')">
<div id="T1" style="border:1px solid black"></div><br />
<a href="#" onClick="javascript: loadXMLDoc('hot_tips_random_test.php')">Next Tip</a>
</body>
</html>works perfect with firefox
