How do I load files into multiple DIV layers using AJAX?

[Cianz]

I want the page to load multiple external PHP files into multiple DIV layers, however no matter what I try I can only get one DIV layer to load when the page is first loaded. If you refresh however, both DIVs will load. Very weird!

All the JavaScript is in the source -- any help is very much appreciated!!

Can you please be more clear on where it is and is not loading? thanks :)

Hi everyone - thanks to John at Dynamic Drive forums I have a solution. Here it is for anyone stuck with the same problem I had.


JavaScript:

function loadXmlHttp(url, id) {
var f = this;
f.xmlHttp = null;
/*@cc_on @*/ // used here and below, limits try/catch to those IE browsers that both benefit from and support it
/*@if(@_jscript_version >= 5) // prevents errors in old browsers that barf on try/catch & problems in IE if Active X disabled
try {f.ie = window.ActiveXObject}catch(e){f.ie = false;}
@end @*/
if (window.XMLHttpRequest&&!f.ie||/^http/.test(window.location.href))
f.xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); // Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari, others, IE 7+ when live - this is the standard method
else if (/(object)|(function)/.test(typeof createRequest))
f.xmlHttp = createRequest(); // ICEBrowser, perhaps others
else {
f.xmlHttp = null;
// Internet Explorer 5 to 6, includes IE 7+ when local //
/*@cc_on @*/
/*@if(@_jscript_version >= 5)
try{f.xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");}
catch (e){try{f.xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");}catch(e){f.xmlHttp=null;}}
@end @*/
}
if(f.xmlHttp != null){
f.el = document.getElementById(id);
f.xmlHttp.open("GET",url,true);
f.xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function(){f.stateChanged();};
f.xmlHttp.send(null);
}
else alert('Your browser does not support AJAX!'); // substitute your desired request object unsupported code here
}


loadXmlHttp.prototype.stateChanged=function () {
if (this.xmlHttp.readyState == 4 && (this.xmlHttp.status == 200 || !/^http/.test(window.location.href)))
this.el.innerHTML = this.xmlHttp.responseText;
}

Usage:

new loadXmlHttp('requested_url', 'target_element_id')
