+2  A: 

You're indeed sending two requests on the same URL and updating the same div. Shouldn't the first one go to the qc1 one and update the qc1 one?

wow... I want to cry about the two hours i've wasted. thank you! (this mistake was so obvious I feel the need to defend myself: had the two requests going to the right places before, but had the js wrong, and then by the time I had fixed the js to where it should work, I had redone the page with the two calling requests and failed horribly)

second qc1 should be uat2., editing your answer

@epascarello: really? With "update" I meant the div id which is passed as second argument. I rollbacked your edit.
BalusC
Whoops, misread that!
