pffft, I’ve got it.
As i expected a typo in my code.
Just before the second $_get in line:
if(isset($_GET[‘data’]) && $_GET[‘data’] != “”){
I typed a “(” for some reason.
Anyway, it works Expect I’ll be using this example of yours many times know I understand it

Thanks for all the help Louie

You are right about the sub-domain, in my case they are not properly setup by my hosting provider, so i moved the files to the main domain folder.

First I tried it with all the example code, but it did not work.
So i again stripped it to the bare necessities but it’s still not working.

The right URLs this time are
http://www.16th-floor.nl/ajaxtest.html
and
http://www.16th-floor.nl/ajaxcontent.html
(I know this extension should php but then you wouldn’t be able to read the code,
so there is a identical ajaxcontent.php and ajaxcontent.html.)

I must say I really do appreciate your quick help on an article almost 1 year old,
so i hope you haven’t lost your patience with me yet

I removed the code inserted into the “comment” as it contained your server path which should be the domain URL PATH.

You are trying to set this up on a sub-domain, so would you not be better just check on a new page in the main domain folder until you get it working?

Have a look at the example available and just because you don’t need certain Javascript code, it doesn’t mean the other code doesn’t need it either.
Those are functions and they could be called from inside the other ones so leave it as it is until working then clean up what you thing you don’t need.

Can’t seem to be able to access your links above.
Is your sub-domain setup porperly?
Also Javascript has permission issues when used accross sub-domains (e.g. “domain.com” is not the same as “sub-domain.domain.com”

oh, i can’t seem to paste the code in this message.
If it is not to much to ask, you could look at my files on:
http://ibhuman.16th-foor.nl/ajaxtest.php
http://inhuman.16th-foor.nl/includes/ajax_content.php
http://inhuman.16th-foor.nl/scripts/ajax.js

sorry for the trouble.

Thanks Louie.

I don’t need the form bit, so I shortened the examples somewhat.
But know the loading image is displayed and nothin happens. So I think i cut out to much.
This is all new to me so would you check my code?

I’m sure it’s something small or stupid, but i’m staring myself dizzy, and just can’t find the problem.

With this code you can not upload images using ajax. Have a look at Yahoo YUI – http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/
