Ignore help requests from me :)

Post by OldRod »

In case anyone has noticed posts from me showing up here then disappearing... I search and search for help on something, then post a question here about it. Invariably, 10 seconds after I post my request for help, I find the answer on my own :)

So, since that's how it normally works, I usually post a request here for help early on in the search process - cuts down on the time I have to search. Then when I find the answer, I delete my post if nobody has viewed it yet :)

haha

well here was my answer i was writing when you deleted it

since php is a server side language it cannot be updated without a page load.

Javascript however can do this.

this is very pseudo code

Code: Select all

<href='link' onclick=updatewindow()>

<script=javascript>

function update window()
{
getdocumentid.html="whaterver is to be updated";

} 

</script>
I explain exactly how to do this in the new tutorials. Sorry to keep saying that. I do however hope to have the first set of videos up by friday.

I found this:

Code: Select all

function changeDiv() {
 
     document.getElementById("rightsidebar").innerHTML = "... whatever new content goes in the DIV..."
 
}
That changes the contents of just that one section without refreshing the entire page.

Thanks for the reply though - I saw only 2 views and figured they were both me, so I deleted the post :)
