I am trying that when someone presses the digg button it will add a number through ajax.
I mean my vote.php (http://pastebin.ca/720589) already does it I just want to show $diggs_found for each of the articles again. without refreshing.
I need a JS function to call vote.php?digg=id and when it does show the new value which $diggs_found does that atm.

yeah but i want it to work through ajax , without refreshing.
I understand that i need to make vote.php echo something maybe exit('OK:1234'); and then Votes: <span id=article_1234> alertContents function
or replacing the div problem is I dont know how to do it all , calling vote.php and such.
var file = 'vote.php?digg=';
xmlhttp.open('GET', file + id, true);
works for me for calling the vote
<td width="67" height="20"><? echo '<a href="javascript:vote('. $row['a_id']. ')">'; ?><img src="2.jpg" width="67" height="20" border="0" /></a></td>
with document.getElementById or something.

As a user, it doesn't refresh for me, it just doesn't refresh the page...
Sorry man but to me there isn't any refresh so, either you just changed it or your just seeing stuff...

[flash]

man it refreshesssses:( maybe too quick for a human eye to see or maybe your connection is urber fast but it does:(
I see it here clearly.
You are right though sometimes it does it so quick that I was suprised too myself , but it does refresh.

yeh it does refresh... try this..

for your refresh button do not...
make it link to your index page..
in the <a href="index.php"> to <a href="javascript:location.reload(true);">Refresh Page</a>

its better...

and in ajax.. make sure all your linked files are correct like..
add these in front of your urls so it locates it properly..
../folder/ajax/diggit.php
something like that in your urlls.. its what i use..

try that

thank you for the refresh button that works great
the part of my ajax I got from here
http://www.somecoders.com/2006/05/make-an-ajax-poll/
which is not designed for what im trying to do .
I need to know what to change here inorder to make it work
document.getElementById('option' + id).innerHTML = content;
javascript:vote(3) for example when i click vote works but I want it to show the new diggs without refreshing.

I've found this

Question is what would the sendy.js would look like for this to work , I imagine it needs to have a var that would call the diggit.php file.
please help.
