Urgent Help please - jQuery DIV refresh of DIV with .js file not working

[Forex-Coder]

Hi,

 

I am using jQuery and the code found in the link below to refresh a div.

 

http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=243527.0

 

However, I am running into a wall. The div I need to refresh is displaying a .js file. When the DIV is reloaded it refreshes forward into a new page with just the contents of the .js file.

 

Any ideas on how to get the DIV to refresh yet remain on the same page.

 

Here is some of what is in the.js file

 

//This function calculates the difference between two dates/times. It returns an array with 2 items
//  containing the hours and the minutes
function difference(later, current)
{
var return_array = new Array(2);

var diff = (Date.parse(later) - Date.parse(current)) / 1000; //number of seconds between the current date and the target date

return_array[0] = Math.floor((diff / 3600),0);				 //number of hours
diff = diff - (return_array[0]*3600);
return_array[1] = Math.floor((diff / 60),0);				 //number of minutes

return return_array;
}

//This function return the adjustment for Daylight Saving Time in Wellington, New Zealand
function new_zealand_DST()
{
var today = new Date();
var DSTdateLow = new Date();
var DSTdateHigh = new Date();

DSTdateLow.setUTCSeconds(0);
DSTdateLow.setUTCMinutes(0);
DSTdateLow.setUTCHours(14);			//Wellington time is GMT+13 before DST expires at 3am local time. 
DSTdateLow.setUTCDate(4);			//Because when DST expires in New Zealand it's still the previous day GMT-time, the date that is passed here must be the previous day 
DSTdateLow.setUTCMonth(3);			//Since Javascript starts counting the months at 0, April = 3
DSTdateLow.setUTCFullYear(2009);

DSTdateHigh.setUTCSeconds(0);
DSTdateHigh.setUTCMinutes(0);
DSTdateHigh.setUTCHours(15);		//Wellington time is GMT+12 before DST comes in effect at 3am local time. 
DSTdateHigh.setUTCDate(26);			//Because when DST comes in effect in New Zealand it's still the previous day GMT-time, the date that is passed here must be the previous day 
DSTdateHigh.setUTCMonth(;			//Since Javascript starts counting the months at 0, September = 8 
DSTdateHigh.setUTCFullYear(2009);

//If the date and time right now is higher than the low date and lower than the high date, DST does NOT apply and
//  it's GMT+12 hours, else it's GMT+13 hours (New Zealand being in the Southern Hemisphere is the opposite of the
//  Northern Hemisphere with the timing of DST)
if ((today >= DSTdateLow) && (today < DSTdateHigh)) {
	return 12; }
else {
	return 13; }

I don't understand what is wrong? Instead of it running the JS code it's displaying it? The jQuery load() function will parse it as HTML. In the file you are loading, try putting <script></script> tags around the JS code
