echoing ajax

[woodplease]

i'm not sure whether this should be in this section or the ajax section.

 

i'm trying to echo out an ajax script so that a page loads in a div tag after a link is clicked in the menu.

Without the "echo", it works fine, but as soon as i include it within the "echo", it stops working. Any help would be great

else echo"

<div id='fcontrol'>

<table border='1' class ='tstyle'>
<tr height ='700'><td valign='top' class='ssbg' width='120'><div id='menu'>

<a href='javascript:ajaxpage(''new_section.php'', ''contentarea'');'>Add new section</a><br/><br/>
<a href='javascript:ajaxpage('new_sub_section.php', 'contentarea');'>Add new section to forum</a><br/><br/><a href='index.php'>Back to forum</a><br/><br/></div></td><td class='tcontrol' width='700' valign='top'>
<center><div id='contentarea'>Control Panel</div></center></td></tr>
</table></div>

</div>
"; ?>

}

i've done that, but it had no effect. i think its to do with the  "    and    '    i've used, but i dont know why.

Here's your problem:

 

ajaxpage(''new_section.php'', ''contentarea'')

 

Should be:

ajaxpage('new_section.php', 'contentarea')

i've tried that, but it doesnt make any difference

It might be easier to drop out of PHP to output that code (and cleanup the quotes):

else { ?>

<div id='fcontrol'>

<table border='1' class ='tstyle'>
<tr height ='700'><td valign='top' class='ssbg' width='120'><div id='menu'>

<a href="javascript:ajaxpage('new_section.php', 'contentarea');">Add new section</a><br/><br/>
<a href="javascript:ajaxpage('new_sub_section.php', 'contentarea');">Add new section to forum</a><br/><br/>
<a href='index.php'>Back to forum</a><br/><br/></div></td><td class='tcontrol' width='700' valign='top'>
<center><div id='contentarea'>Control Panel</div></center></td></tr>
</table></div>

</div>
<?php
}
?>

i've tried that, but now the php on the page it displays in the div doesnt work.

 

The php reloads the (php) page to INSERT data into a table, using if($_POST ), but it reloads the whole page, not just the div.

else echo"

<div id=\"fcontrol\">

<table border=\"1\" class=\"tstyle\">
<tr height=\"700\"><td valign=\"top\" class=\"ssbg\" width=\"120\"><div id=\"menu\">

<a href=\"javascript:ajaxpage('new_section.php', 'contentarea');\">Add new section</a><br/><br/>
<a href=\"javascript:ajaxpage('new_sub_section.php', 'contentarea');\">Add new section to forum</a><br/><br/><a href=\"index.php\">Back to forum</a><br/><br/></div></td><td class=\"tcontrol\" width=\"700\" valign=\"top\">
<center><div id=\"contentarea\">Control Panel</div></center></td></tr>
</table></div>

</div>
"; ?>

thanks, but i have a problem with the (php) page that displays in the div.

There is a form in the php page that when submitted, reloads the php page, and runs code to insert the form data into a table. the problem is that it is reloading the page with the ajax on, therefore the php page is no longer loaded in the div resulting in the code not running.

 

the code on the form (of the php page) that reloads the page is

<form name="add_section" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['../PHP_SELF']; ?>">

 

when the page reloads, its uses

if (isset($_POST['new_section'])) { 
if (!$section_title ) {
die('You did not complete all of the required fields<br/><a href="./new_section.php">Back</a>');
}
$query = "INSERT INTO section_main (section_title) VALUES ('$section_title')";
$add_section = mysql_query($query) or die ('could not add new section');
