Running a database insert on image click

[Buddski]

You will need a "onreadystatechange"

xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function(){
if(xmlhttp.readyState == 4){
	// Do something here //
}
}

The returned data will be contained in xmlhttp.responseText;

Add this just before your xmlhttp.open() call.

Ok thanks so i can only get back one string ? can i not get back a set of variables ?

[Buddski]

You could send back JSON data but thats just a whole other can of worms.

The best (quickest) would be for the vote.php to return the preformed HTML of the new image set (with all the onclick etc etc in it).

ok thanks, i have it working for one of the images, just need to get it working for the second image aswell.

 

Is there a way I can split the responseText and then add each part to 2 seperate divs  ?

[Buddski]

You could also split your responseText using a \n I guess.

For example, your AJAX would return something like

<img src="1.jpg">
<img src="2.jpg">

and then using javascript to split it..

var parts = xmlhttp.responseText.split("\n");

part[0] would contain <img src="1.jpg"> and part[1] would contain <img src="2.jpg">

 

Or..something (its 1:30 and I have to bee up in 6hrs for work so im a little scattered)

The only other way would be to return a javascript object which you would more than likely have to eval() to make it usable.
