New to ajax...

[Darkfortune]

Hi!
I posted this on JavaScript but they didn't answer...
Here's my code, It doesn't work but it needs to load a php file every 0.5 seconds and then put it in a div called content.
I'm new to Ajax & JavaScript so it is a bunch of snippets merged together =/

function refresh()
{
	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("content").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
		}
	  }
	xmlhttp.open('GET','chat.php,true');
	xmlhttp.send();
	setTimeout('refresh()', 500);

"They" are pretty much the same people that will answer you here.

And the reason "they" didn't answer in your other thread is twofold:

First, it has only been an hour since you opened that other thread (which I deleted, because crossposting violates forum rules). Since you don't pay any of the people here to do your work, you will have to wait until someone chooses to invest their free time in helping you.

Second, "My code doesn't work and I don't know how to fix it" is a really bad incentive for anyone to help you. This is a place for professional exchange, which gives people willing to learn the opportunity to benefit from collective experience. It's not a free coding service.

1) Your problem could be with the code in chat.php

2) you have a syntax error in
xmlhttp.open('GET','chat.php,true');

This tute might help you
