simplest ajax or js for refreshing 1 line of code?

[oli22]

There seem to be many ways of doing ajax outhere, i'm a newbee, so i thought about asking which simple effective ajax/JS method i should use to do this.

Video embed code is refreshed by use of  a php include when thumbnails are clicked. Instead of having full page refresh every time a thumb is clicked i would like to simply refresh that line of phpcode. Can you tell me which way is simplest and most effective ajax/JS to use for this?

 

Here is the code i am using.

<!--START Player-->

 

<div>

 

<p style="text-align:center;">

<?php

$playVideo = $_GET['playThis'];

?>

 

<?php include("FunIncludes/$playVideo.php"); ?>

 

</p>

<!--END Player-->

 

Codes in thumb gallery which re-loads the include

<div class="funnyThumbs">

<a href="FUNNYVIDEOS.php?playThis=LOL" target="_self" >

<img src="images/IMAGES/LOL.gif" width="165" height="70" />

</a>

</div>

Hi oli,

 

Take a look at a post I created just recently.  It explains the most simplest way, (for me) to do an ajax/php call. 

Let me know if you need any help with anything else.
