nakins Nervous Wreck (II) Inmate From: Insane since: Mar 2006	posted 03-20-2009 19:02 Hi, I'm trying to create the functionality of an iFrame with a div. What I need to do is load / reload a div with a partial html file (no <html> or <body> tags) . The html file always has the same name, it just might change or be added to during a 24 hour period. I understand that I can do something like window.GetElementById(some-Div). innerHTML = "blah blah blah", but what I would like to do (upon initial load) is something like Window.GetElementById(some-div).src = "http://mysite.com/myfile", then, find someway to reload the div when needed. The reload would occur when a server side script runs that is called from an iframe, and the script writes some javascript code back to the page like parent.window.GetElementById(some-div).reload. BTW, I wanted to use a Div, instead of an iFrame, because the div would expand vertically. Does this have the slightest chance of working? Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm trying to create the functionality of an iFrame with a div. What I need to do is load / reload a div with a partial html file (no <html> or <body> tags) . The html file always has the same name, it just might change or be added to during a 24 hour period. I understand that I can do something like window.GetElementById(some-Div). innerHTML = "blah blah blah", but what I would like to do (upon initial load) is something like Window.GetElementById(some-div).src = "http://mysite.com/myfile", then, find someway to reload the div when needed.

The reload would occur when a server side script runs that is called from an iframe, and the script writes some javascript code back to the page like parent.window.GetElementById(some-div).reload. BTW, I wanted to use a Div, instead of an iFrame, because the div would expand vertically.

Does this have the slightest chance of working? Any suggestions?

You can do it using prototype library (http://www.prototypejs.org/assets/2008/9/29/prototype-1.6.0.3.js)
The following example will replace the content of specifc div (by id) with the content that will return from the url in the second parameter

code:

new Ajax.Updater('some div id', 'relative url to the page')
