php var to ajax script via onclick

[dk4210]

Hello Guys,

Is there a way that I can pass a PHP var to the ajax script via an onclick event? I am trying to pass the var - $imgid

Here is my link

PHP Code:

  echo '<a href="artists/'.$artist.'/'.$imgid.'.jpg?imgid='.$imgid.'" onclick="loadXMLDoc()" class="thumbnail" ><img src="artists/'.$artist.'/previews/'.$imgid.'.jpg" border="0" /></a>'; 


Here is the Ajax call

PHP Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function loadXMLDoc()
{
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
  {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
    {
    document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
    }
  }
xmlhttp.open("GET","artist_title.php?imgid=<?php echo $imgid?>",true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>

Please advise..
Thanks, Dan

Every time I add something to the onclick it breaks the ajax call

Move the onclick to the img tag. And do you want to load another page, the

<a href="

in the anchor tag, if your calling an ajax function?
