I am having troubles with the refresh of a page on my website. Tried to get the functions better working, but that didn't work out, so I decided to go for Ajax, but after days searching and reading and trying I am sure...Ajax is out of my league, so this is the last option. Can anyone help me to get this refreshed by Ajax instead of with document.location?? <?php function fhrsamNowPlaying() { global $fhrsam_db, $fhrsam_conf_var; fhrsam_connect_db(); // ************************************************************************** // Coming up section $coming_up = $fhrsam_db->get_results( "select * from fhr_coming_up_view", ARRAY_A ); // ************************************************************************** // Current show section $current_show = $fhrsam_db->get_row( "select * from fhr_current_show_view", ARRAY_A ); // ************************************************************************** // Now playing section $now_playing = $fhrsam_db->get_row( "select * from fhr_now_playing_view", ARRAY_A ); $genre1 = explode( ":", $now_playing["genre"] ); $genre2 = explode( ",", $genre1[1] ); $categories = $fhrsam_db->get_results( "select name from category c, categorylist cl where cl.songid = " . $now_playing["id"] .

First of all the code: <script type="text/javascript"> var reload = false; function countDown() { countDownTime--; if ( document.getElementById( "countDownText" ) ) { document.getElementById( "countDownText" ).innerHTML = secsToMins( countDownTime ); } if ( countDownTime == 0 ) { clearInterval( countdown_timer ); document.location.reload(); return; } else if ( countDownTime < 0 ) { countDownTime = 10; } } function secsToMins( theValue ) { if( theValue <= 0 ) { return( "reloading..." ); } var theMin = Math.floor( theValue / 60 ); var theSec = ( theValue % 60 ); if ( theSec < 10 ) { theSec = "0" + theSec; } return( theMin + ":" + theSec ); } var countDownTime = <?php _e( $secs_remain ); ?>; countdown_timer = setInterval ( "countDown();", 1000 ); </script> This works, but the document.location.reload is a bit slow...Is there a way too speed things up?
