So I figured out my problem with IE. Caching. To resolve the issue I added + escape(new Date()); to my var strURL. As for the minibasket replacing the parent div, it still does it. I think the issue is because the mini .hidden div is stacked inside the mini div... <div id="mini"> <div class="hidden"></div> </div>

Ok, I believe I have resolved the JS errors. Now in IE the only mini div that loads says the cart is empty, but, again, works great in firefox, chrome, safari.

Thanks for the advice. I put in the code and I am getting alerts, I'm not exactly sure where or what I need to fix.... function callback_fn () { var strURL="/TKMINI.html"; var req = getXMLHTTP(); if (req) { req.onreadystatechange = function() { if (req.readyState == 4) { if (req.status == 200) { alert($('#mini').html()); document.getElementById('mini').innerHTML=req.responseText; } else { alert("There was a problem while using XMLHTTP:\n" + req.statusText); } } } req.open("GET", strURL, true); req.send(null); } } I get the first alert (screenshot_1.png) after I add my first product. I get the second alert (screenshot_2.png) thereafter (for each product I add after the first, I get this same alert). So it appears that the div is not refreshing, or loading in the new products, after the first product is added. I can even go to my shopping cart (a different page on the website) clear the entire cart, go back to the product page, add a new (different) product, and the minibasket loads with the information of the very first product -which is no longer even in the basket. Any ideas??? [attachment deleted by admin]

This works great in firefox, but in IE the div with refresh only 1 time. Any suggestions how to fix it so that continues to refresh?

So far I've gotten this to work.. findCOURSE.php <select name="COURSE" onChange="get_Results(this.value)"> <option>Select Course</option> <?php require "config.php"; $CURR=$_GET['CURR']; $COURSE=$_GET['COURSE']; $query = "SELECT DISTINCT CURR, COURSE FROM UGASU11 WHERE CURR = '$CURR' order by COURSE"; $result=mysql_query($query); while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { ?> <option value=<?php echo $row['CURR'],$row['COURSE']?>><?php echo $row['COURSE']?></option> <? } ?> </select> outputs... <select name="COURSE" onChange="get_Results(this.value)"> <option>Select Course</option> <option value=ADPR3110>3110</option> <option value=ADPR3520>3520</option> <option value=ADPR5910>5910</option> <option value=ADPR5990 H>5990 H</option> </select> which is what I need. But, I can't figure out the next step. This is the function that should submit to textbooks.php for the results (doesn't work) function get_Results(CURR,COURSE) { var strURL="/textbookresults.php?CURR="+CURR+"&COURSE="+COURSE; var req = getXMLHTTP(); if (req) { req.onreadystatechange = function() { if (req.readyState == 4) { if (req.status == 200) { document.getElementById('RESULTS_div').innerHTML=req.responseText; } else { alert("There was a problem while using XMLHTTP:\n" + req.statusText); } } } req.open("GET", strURL, true); req.send(null); } } and this is the last query used to display the results... $query = "SELECT * FROM UGASU11 WHERE CURR = '$CURR' AND COURSE = '$COURSE' order by INSTRUCTOR";

so... it isn't working as I need it to. The last function get_Results is only calling the COURSE variable. I need it to call TERM, CURR, and COURSE in order to find the correct results.

Ok, got it to update my <div id="mini"> with function callback_fn () { var strURL="/TKMINI.html"; var req = getXMLHTTP(); if (req) { req.onreadystatechange = function() { if (req.readyState == 4) { if (req.status == 200) { document.getElementById('mini').innerHTML=req.responseText; } } } req.open("GET", strURL, true); req.send(null); } } </script> Next step, hide <div id="bookcart"> function callback_fn () { var strURL="/TKMINI.html"; var req = getXMLHTTP(); if (req) { req.onreadystatechange = function() { if (req.readyState == 4) { if (req.status == 200) { document.getElementById('mini').innerHTML=req.responseText; } } } req.open("GET", strURL, true); req.send(null); } setTimeout( "jQuery('#bookcart').fadeOut();",1000 ); } Problem is that it hides the 'mini' div, not just bookcart, and I can't figure out why. html <div id="mini"> ---CONTENT--- <div class="hidden"> <div id="bookcart"> <div id="minibask">---CONTENT---</div> <div id="minibask_total">---MORE CONTENT---</div> </div> </div> </div> - OR - html/Miva script (if you're familiar with Miva Merchant) <div id="mini"> <mvt:item name="toolkit" param="basket|itemcount" /> <mvt:if expr="g.itemcount GT 0"> <a href="&mvt:global:secure_sessionurl;Screen=BASK" title="checkout" border="0"><img src="graphics/00000001/images/ShoppingCart.png" class="textmiddle" alt="Shopping Cart" /></a> <h8><strong>(&mvte:toolkit:basketcount;)</h8></strong> <div class="hidden"><mvt:item name="toolkit" param="render|TKMINI" /></div> <mvt:else> <a href="&mvt:global:secure_sessionurl;Screen=BASK" title="checkout" border="0"><img src="graphics/00000001/images/ShoppingCart.png" class="textmiddle" alt="Shopping Cart" /></a> (0) </mvt:if> </div> css #mini { padding: 2px; width:150px; float:right; } #mini .hidden { display:none; } #mini:hover .hidden { display:inline; } #minibask { background-color: #eeeeee; border:#cccccc 2px solid; position:relative; width:350px; line-height:1.1em; z-index:100; } #minibask_total { background-color: #cccccc; border:#cccccc 2px solid; width:350px; text-align:right; position:relative; z-index:100; line-height:1.1em; } Any Ideas?

Thanks for responding! I should mention that I am quite a newbie to .js I have been searching the web for callback functions but I don't know that I am moving in the right direction. Could you share some sites that could help me out? I take that I need to edit the .js file and put a script in my html?

Hi All! I am using a Greybox (found at: orangoo.com/labs/GreyBox/) to display my product pages, like the quick product display on Target.com. I have a minibasket in a div on the parent page where after a product is added to the cart the div updates and displays the cart info onhover. Problem is that the only way I know of to update the parent page is modifying the gb_scripts.js with 'this.reload_on_close=true' 'window.location.reload(true);' I want to avoid reloading the entire parent page so that the customer doesn't have to restart their product search - as it gets reset when the page reloads. Is there a way to only refresh the minibasket div?

It is. Thank You SO MUCH for all of your help! I really can't give you even praise and thanks!

RESOLVED! I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but I didn't need to string my variables together (TERM,CURR,COURSE) as the function somehow already stored the first two variables.

the alert box is telling me that my variables (TERM,CURR,COURSE) are undefined...

dd3ck.php works and give me the results I want and need when not trying to post them to a div so I don't think the syntax is wrong there (but what do I rally know?). Could it be I am not calling the right variables in the function? I tried what you gave me and got the alert There was a problem while using XMLHTTP Internal Server Error
