Hi
Here is another script to request and load content from a server.
In addition to this the script scans for embeded css and script tags and acts accordingly.
In the exampel
http://hgsweb.de/pframe this is done for Menu1
Code:
'use strict';
var HGSPFRAME = {
toggle: false,
xmlHttp: function() {
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
return new XMLHttpRequest();
} else {
return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
alert("Error creating the XMLHttpRequest object.");
return '';
}(),
async: false, // we will wait for the backend to complete
fillPframe: function(pfid, backend_script) {
////////////////
// pfid is the id of an html elemnt to fill with content
// delivered by the backend_script
// If this html element does yet not exist we create a div
// to hold the content.
////////////////
var dd = document.getElementById(pfid);
if (!dd) {
dd = document.createElement('DIV');
dd.id = pfid;
document.body.appendChild(dd);
}
dd.innerHTML = "...";
var xmlHttp = HGSPFRAME.xmlHttp;
xmlHttp.open("POST", "../pframe/pframeajax.php", HGSPFRAME.async);
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (this.readyState === 4 && this.status === 200) {
var i, dd, result,ls,nl;
var jresp=eval('('+xmlHttp.responseText+')');
//////////////////
// result is encoded base64 on the server side
// this way we can send/receive any data over the wire
//////////////////
result = decode64(jresp.result);
dd = document.getElementById(jresp.pfid);
if (HGSPFRAME.toggle) {
if (dd.style.display !== "none" && dd.style.display !== "") {

} else {
