Dynamic Ajax Content site.html instead text

**Lazor** · 10-14-2009, 06:44 PM

1) Script Title:
Dynamic Ajax Content
2) Script URL (on DD):
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...jaxcontent.htm
3) Describe problem:

Code:

<div id="rightcolumn"><h3>Choose a page to load.</h3></div>

How to replace text on the page to work for example index.html.
Sorry for my english.
@edit

Code:

<div id="rightcolumn"><a href="ajaxfiles/external2.html"></a></div>

Does not display page

I see no reason why:

Code:

<div id="rightcolumn"><a href="ajaxfiles/external2.html"></a></div>

should do anything. It is just an ordinary link tag with no visible content. However, if you were to place this script (highlighted) at the end of the page, just before the closing </body> tag, it should work:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
ajaxpage('ajaxfiles/external2.html', 'rightcolumn');
</script>
</body>
</html>

Help me please

You still need to have:

HTML Code:

<div id="rightcolumn"></div>

on your page. Also, it must come before the small script I told you to add.

I don't know coding, but I see some file names are ajaxfiles/external2.htm and ajaxfiles/external2.html

Are they different files or a html is missing ?

First of all this is more of a general question and as such should probably be in the HTML forum.

Second, for what is essentially a new topic, a new thread should be started.

However, this thread is apparently resolved, so that's not so important in this case (it can be a real drag to have your thread interrupted by someone else's question before your issue is resolved). Both of these reflect the general rules and spirit of these forums, so just file that information away for future use, please.

Anyways, as to your question, an HTML file may have either extension. This is a holdover from earlier 8.3 DOS and Windows file naming limitations (a maximum of 8 characters only were allowed for the filename, maximum 3 characters only were allowed for the extension, hence 8.3). As far as I know, and this is the important point here, all servers will recognize either .htm or .html as indicating an HTML file and will then serve it as such. This matters greatly because if it is served as text or something else other than as HTML, the browser need not (and often, depending upon the browser, will not) interpret the tags contained within it correctly for HTML presentation.

The short answer though is that they are equivalent, don't worry about it.
