Flex Menu called via Ajax

[bellalamb]

1) Script Title: Flex Level Drop Down Menu (v1.1)

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...exdropdown.htm

3) Describe problem:
I am trying to run this in a php file (to read MSQL) which has already been called
by Ajax

// Customise those settings

var seconds = 15;
var divid = "timediv";
var url = "afc21t.php";

////////////////////////////////
//
// Refreshing the DIV
//
////////////////////////////////

function refreshdiv(){

// The XMLHttpRequest object

var xmlHttp;
try{
xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); // Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari
}
catch (e){
try{
xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); // Internet Explorer
}
catch (e){
try{
xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
catch (e){
alert("Your browser does not support AJAX.");
return false;
}
}
}

// Timestamp for preventing IE caching the GET request

fetch_unix_timestamp = function()
{
return parseInt(new Date().getTime().toString().substring(0, 10))
}

var timestamp = fetch_unix_timestamp();
var nocacheurl = url+"?t="+timestamp;

// The code...

xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=function(){
if(xmlHttp.readyState==4){
document.getElementById(divid).innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText;
setTimeout('refreshdiv()',seconds*1000);
}
}
xmlHttp.open("GET",nocacheurl,true);
xmlHttp.send(null);
}

// Start the refreshing process

var seconds;
window.onload = function startrefresh(){
setTimeout('refreshdiv()',seconds*1000);
}

to allow updated user data to be retrieved before putting into the flex menu

it appears to be clashing somewhere - but I can't work out where!

no errors are reported - it just does nothing

any ideas?

Hmm we need to see the rest of the page to know what the issue might be. Please post a link to the page on your site that contains the problematic script so we can check it out.

Hi

The main site is http://alderneyfriends.com -- you will need to login to see the popdown menu working (v1.0) usename and password = guest

I the files I am using to test this are

http://alderneyfriends.com/afc21x.php and

http://alderneyfriends.com/afc21t.php

afc21x calls afc21t via the ajax.js I posted last time

code for afc21x.php

<?php
echo '<script src="ajax.js"></script>

<strong>Testing Updates</strong>
';

echo '
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
refreshdiv();
// --></script>

<div id="timediv"></div>' ;
echo "after the test" ;
?>

code for afc21t.php

<?php
$db_server = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'alderneyfriends';
$db_user = 'alderneyfriends';
$db_passwd = '********';
mysql_connect($db_server,$db_user,$db_passwd);
@mysql_select_db($db_name) or die( "Unable to select board database");
echo '
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="flexdropdown.css" />

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

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

I've managed to log in. Which flex menu is the one being dynamically fetched and is showing blank instead?

[bellalamb]

Hi

It you go to http://alderneyfriends.com/afc21x.php there are dynamic menus on the 'names'

if you go to http://alderneyfriends.com/afc21t.php the menus work

(afc21x.php calls afc21t.php via the ajax.js )

hope it is clear, if not you can chat with me on http://alderneyfriends.com

I am admin!

Hi

I think I have found the problem

JavaScript does not work within php/html files called by xmlHttp.open

Paul
