AJAXify a featured items list - reload a random item

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I've been developing a php script to display a featured item on a dynamic page.  The code will return a random item, but I don't want to reload the page, obviously.  I read various places on then net that AJAX is the way to go, but I'm not that much of a programmer yet to understand Javascript/AJAX fully.  (It's an aim for this year to improve my JS skills)...

 

How would I go about getting the panel to refresh every 15 secs or so?  And also have a 'Next' link at the base to fast forward through the items.

 

The script is self-contained (it doesn't require any other scripts) so my thinking is it's perfectly ok to wrap an ajax function around it and make it work like that...  is that a correct understanding?

 

Any ideas/tutorials (in plain english) would be well appreciated.

 

TIA

 

Rich
