Question

Answer 1

A:

function ajax_update()
{
      var postFile = 'ok.php';

      $.post("ok.php", function(data){
          $("#wtf").html(data);
      });  

    setTimeout(ajax_update, 10000);
}

Youre also going to run into a situation where youre trying to modify the DOM before its ready because youre invoking this function at body.onLoad but the entire page needs to beready in order to use $('#wtf'). you need to rethink this... and probably brush up on js syntax :-)

Either way is valid. That's not the problem.

Yeah i realized that after the fact... the random cache line and other things... edited to that effect.

Answer 2

+2 A:

You can't just put cache: false throughout your code in random spots. Please learn basic Javascript syntax before starting to write code. You'll probably learn much more by following a basic tutorial than posting a bunch of localized questions here on StackOverflow.

I will, however, show you what your function should look like this time. But I strongly recommend reading the tutorial that I have provided a link to.

function ajax_update()  { 
  $.post("ok.php", function(data){ 
    $("#wtf").html(data); 
    setTimeout(ajax_update, 10000);
  });
}

Thank you for link. I tried this, but unfourtanly like the other its not working..

Karem 2010-02-05 20:02:50

It's not working? Awww, what a shame. If only my ESP-level debugger wasn't full of bugs itself...

Josh Stodola 2010-02-05 20:19:45

Its so weird its working perfectly on FF but not in IE

Karem 2010-02-05 20:42:24

You probably have Javascript disabled LOL

Josh Stodola 2010-02-05 20:51:28

no? try yourself www.leinstein.dk !

Karem 2010-02-05 21:28:28

It is likely a HTTP header issue with your handler (ok.php)

Josh Stodola 2010-02-05 22:25:57

When i enter http://leinstein.dk/ok.php in IE it shows "Hello World!"?

Karem 2010-02-05 22:28:10

Right now this is what ok.php looks like:<?phpob_start();header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1header("Expires: Sat, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the pastob_flush();?> Hello World!

Karem 2010-02-05 22:34:43

No content-type?

Josh Stodola 2010-02-06 00:32:15

Thank you Josh!!!!

Karem 2010-02-06 09:52:48

But: This does not work if the ok.php contains PHP ?

Answer 3

A:

Why dont wrap your function in an ready jquery fucntion, like that you wont need to wait the loading of all the page element, just the DOM.

$(document).ready(function() {

});
