how to pass variables into AJAX request?

[snake_eyes]

Hello, Dear Guys how to pass variables into AJAX request,

I have this div in the PHP page:
<div id="display_poll"></div>

and this is the AJAX_common.php code:
<table width="125" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<form method="post" action="ajax_common.php">
<tr>
<td class="cell3">question</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="cell4"><input type="radio" name="option_id" value="1">option 1</td>
</tr> <tr>
<td class="cell4"><input type="radio" name="option_id" value="2">option 2</td>
</tr> <tr>
<td class="cell4"><input type="radio" name="option_id" value="3">option 3</td>
</tr> <tr>
<td class="cell4">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="vote">
<input type="hidden" name="poll_ident" value="22">
<input type="submit" class="button" value="vote">
<br>
<span class='click_span' onclick="MakeRequest('ajax_common.php?action=results&amp;poll_ident=22', 'display_poll')">results</span>
</td>
</tr>
</form>
</table>

when I select an option then submit the page it will reload again, is there a way to switch automatic the div and get the poll result instead of poll main form

regards heaps

Hi there what you need to do is on your submit button ,,, run a function and from the function call a javascript function that will talk to your to your php page and then return the content that will go into your div

you use the GetXmlHttpObject() to talk to your php page

so in your return javascript ajax will be:

document.getElementById('display_poll').innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText;

and this will replace the inner content... you dont need to post..

Hello chris_angell,

I already have <div id="display_poll"></div> and the table of AJAX_common.php has loaded and published to display_poll like document.getElementById('display_poll').innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText;

for sure when you vote the original form should be change to poll result and replace the original form.

if you have a small example much better,

Regards
