Everything functions the way it should, but once I add the code below to my PHP report page it causes issues with the format of the tabs on my navigation page. The same issue comes up if I add a random document.write outside of the PHP code. Not ...

I am setting varname as a variable, but it is posting as the actual variable name not what I set it to. In other words it is showing up as "varname" instead of "class_id". var varname = "class_id"; $(this).siblings(".container").load(l...

In javascript, you can use bracket syntax to make variable-variables in global scope: var var_name = 'my_var', var_value = 'my_value'; window[var_name] = var_value; alert( my_var ); // Works! alerts user...

I a...

Hey! I am trying to add an ajax response to a div (it's htmlcode, tables, forms etc). In FF innerHTML works perfectly, but in IE it gives me an unknown error. I tried lot's of stuff, but I only got it working when I added jQuery and ran the .html method on the div I want the code inserted into. Anyone care to explain why this works ...
