my script won't load [SOLVED]

[echofool]

Hey,I have a js script which is meant to load a php script inside a div, i get no Js errors according to firebug so i don't know why it won't do it.My script is:

function createRequestObject() {var ro;if (window.XMLHttpRequest)  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safariro =  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();  }else  {// code for IE6, IE5  ro = xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");  }return ro;}var http = createRequestObject();function updateShouts(){	$('#Div').load('content.php');}window.onload = updateShouts();

My page source shows:

<script type="text/javascript" src="loaddivcontent.js"></script><div id="Div"></div>

Any one see any mistake i made?

[aspnetguy]

use this instead

window.onload = updateShouts;

this assigns the function as the handler what you were doing was assigning the result of the function as the handler.

EDIT: just seen you edit the post so ignore this reply post :)EDIT2: okay tried that but still the div is not displaying anything

what do you mean loading a PHP script into a div? You realize PHP is executed before HTTP, correct? I could see if you were returning something from a PHP script and then setting the responseText to the innerHTML of a div. What does content.php do?

The content.php loads a layout also has some mysql and php stuff going on that works out what layout it is going to be displayed.Content.php is not the same .php script as the which contains the div that is calling it.. the <div id="Div"> is on index.php.Hope this explains.

what is it returning? can you just show it to us?

If the change you made was in the external JS file it was likely cached.
