will pay $10 paypal.what is wrong with my HTML menu using Ajax to load php include

Hello experts.


I am using a HTML menu in a php file.

When a menu item is clicked (mouse onclick ) java function will process the menu item "ID" and will pass it to a PHP file which will query MYSQL database and will return results.

I don't want to reload the entair PHP page, just the section that displays results based on menu selection. So Ajax is used.

Can somebody please help....

How to pass string 'value' to java function from a menu item?


HTML Menu:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clienthint.js"></script>

<div class="h_mnu_01">
<ul>
<li><a href="" onclick="showreport('FA')">Featured Ads</a></li>
<li><a href="" onclick="showreport('FE')">Featured Events</a></li>
<li><a href="" onclick="showreport('UE')">Upcoming Events</a></li>
<li><a href="" onclick="showreport('LA')">Latest Ads</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

<br />
<div id="Report"><b>The report will be display here.</b></div>




Javascript file: clienthint.js


var xmlhttp

function showreport(str)
{
if (str.length==0)
{
document.getElementById("report").innerHTML="";
return;
}
xmlhttp=GetXmlHttpObject();
if (xmlhttp==null)
{
alert ("Your browser does not support XMLHTTP!");
return;
}
var url="gethint.php";
url=url+"?q="+str;
url=url+"&sid="+Math.random();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged;
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
xmlhttp.send(null);
}

function stateChanged()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4)
{
document.getElementById("report").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}

function GetXmlHttpObject()
{
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
return new XMLHttpRequest();
}
if (window.ActiveXObject)
{
// code for IE6, IE5
return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
return null;
}



PHP file: gethint.php

<?php

//get the q parameter from URL
$q=$_GET["q"];

// include php files that queries database and echo results
if (strlen($q) > 0)
{
switch ($q)
{
case "FA":
<?php include_once("featured_ads.inc.php"); ?>
break;
case "FE":
<?php include_once("featured_event.inc.php"); ?>
break;
case "UE":
<?php include_once("upcoming_featured_events.inc.php"); ?>
break;
case "LA":
<?php include_once("latest.inc.php"); ?>
break;
default:
echo "Nothing to Display !";
}
?>
