Unload AJAX

[chrischen]

I have ajax load an external page into a div. How do I unload that to return the page to the normal state like it is if the person refreshes it?

You could do something like this:

 

<script language="javascript">
var content = "yourDIVsIDHere"; // replace this with your div's id; the div that contains your external page, that was loaded by ajax
function resetDIV()
{
document.getElementById(content).innerHTML;
}
</script>

<div id="yourDIVsIDHere">
<!-- external page would have been displayed here -->
</div>

<br><br>

<input type="button" onclick="resetDIV()" value="Clear It!">

or... instead of replacing the old text you could just use a style to hide it. and display the new, then vise versa to go back.

 

so...

 

/* Some ajax stuff above */
if(ajaxRequest.readyState == 4){
     document.getElementById('newPageStuff').style.display = "block";
     document.getElementById('oldPageStuff').style.display = "none";
} 
/* Some ajax stuff below */
