[SOLVED] How to include a refreshing page so that it wont refresh the entire site?

[Madatan]

Difficult to sum it up in the title perhaps...

 

Anyway, I have a php script thats being refreshed every 5 seconds by a javascript. Now I want to include this php script on several other pages on the site. But currently when I'm using an ajax function or normal iframes the included page will refresh the entire site and not just itself.

 

Simply put, how can I include a file without it doing anything with the page its included on?

 

Thanks for any help!

including it as an iframe should allow you to just update the content within the IFrame.

Yeah I thought so too, and thus I did it as an iframe at first. But it refreshed the entire web browser every 5 second, which screwed up everything thats not within the iframe.

you would need to use ajax to re-polulate the IFrame, thinking on if you are using Ajax it don't even need to be in an IFrame at all.

 

Just use ajax to call your php script at regular intervals repopulating the page as needed

getElementById('id').innerHTML ???

getElementById('id').innerHTML ???

 

Yes this would be how you would update the div once you had recieved the new content from your script....
