Duplicating Script

[mdj101]

Hi All,

I have the following code that im using in my shopping cart (VPASP) to pull the reviews into the product page. I want to also pull the tell a friend page in aswell.

<script language="javascript">
var xmlHttp

function showTellafriend(str)
{
if (str.length==0)
{ 
document.getElementById("tellafriend").innerHTML=""
return
}

xmlHttp=GetXmlHttpObject()
if (xmlHttp==null)
{
return
} 
var url="shoptellafriend.asp"
url=url+"?id="+str
url=url+"&sid="+Math.random()
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged 
xmlHttp.open("GET",url,true)
xmlHttp.send(null)
} 

function stateChanged() 
{ 
if (xmlHttp.readyState==4 || xmlHttp.readyState=="complete")
{ 
document.getElementById("tellafriend").innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText 
} 
} 

function GetXmlHttpObject()
{ 
var objXMLHttp=null
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
objXMLHttp=new XMLHttpRequest()
}
else if (window.ActiveXObject)
{
objXMLHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
}
return objXMLHttp
} 

showTellafriend("[catalogid]")
</script>

I can change the code and it pulls in the tell a friend fine, but i cant get it to do both, just one or the other.

What do I need to change in each section of javascript so they are unique and will both work together?

thanks in advance!

mmmm, I starting to believe it will need to be re-written, any help would be much appreciated. i'm new to this

use simpler code, and break your tasks into pieces wrapped in functions.
if nothing else, you can cut and paste the two variations into separate working chunks.
i don't see the other functionality you are loking for, but here is some simpler code for you to edit into what you need.

function IO(U){//tiny sjax by dandavis
    var X=((!window.XMLHttpRequest)?new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP'):new XMLHttpRequest());
    X.open('GET',U,0);
    X.send('');	
    return X.responseText;
}

function showTellafriend(str){
    var url="shoptellafriend.asp?id="+  str  +"&sid="+Math.random()
      document.getElementById("tellafriend").innerHTML= str ? IO(url) : "";   
 }
