I double-checked my code on my end, deleted everything remotely involved in the function/call on the server side, re-uploaded everything, and did a forced/hard refresh. My issue involved not refreshing, 2 functions named the same thing , and not properly escaping quotes in the PHP. (Kinda inexperienced at JS, but I noticed that if there is even one error in the JS file, NOTHING will work. My solution was to double click on it in windows explorer. I didn't have anything program associated with it, so it would try and run it, and hence debug it for me.) For people searching later, I believe you can in fact call the function doing the AJAX as many times as you want. It was a 'user error'. In a position like this, the first thing I do/did was put an alert("in here"); or something like that as the first line in the function. If I didn't get a pop-up when I was supposed to, I knew that I couldn't even begin to look at the JS, because it wasn't even getting there. I would check the call in the HTML, and go on from there. Is there a section of code you want to post up?

After beating everything out of it I could, I believe that I may have solved my own problem. I can attribute some of my problem to not completely refreshing everything. I am going to try and apply it to a couple other form elements and see if the general function works for more than the 2 of the elements I have it working for currently.

Did you get it? As stupid as it sounds, start at the beginning. Make sure the PHP is getting the right numbers and verify that the GET is transferring the numbers as integers, not strings, etc. You never know... <?php $start=$_GET['start']; $amount=$_GET['amount']; echo "Start value:".$start." and Amount value:".$amount; ?>

This is killing me and I am hoping you guys can help. I am using SACK as my 'framework' for this little AJAX side project of mine. Anyone familiar? I have two (2) select boxes. For this test, all I want is to get what the user selected in the select box, with the potential to do a whole bunch with it later (formatting, changing the text, etc.) The first box is full of all 50 states. The function below gets 'state' and 'Texas', and works PERFECTLY. (format-state only has an echo statement in it.) Code: function sack_display(section,value) { alert("in sackdisplay with "+section+" & "+value); ajax.setVar(section, document.getElementById("select-"+section).value); ajax.requestFile = "format-"+section+".php"; // format-state...check ajax.method = "POST"; ajax.element = section+"-content"; //state-content...check ajax.onLoading = whenLoading; ajax.onLoaded = whenLoaded; ajax.onInteractive = whenInteractive; ajax.runAJAX(); } Now, I call it again from a different select box (full of counties) <.... onchange="sack_display('county','Harris County');"> And it doesn't budge. I change the county and the alert doesn't show up, nothing. All the HTML elements are there and visible. If I copy the function and call it display2, and call display 2 from the county select, it works perfectly. I don't want to have a different function for every option box. Everything appreciated. Thanks!
