AJAX Help

[ggggus]

I'm trying to set up what I thought would be a simple ajax system, but I'm having troulbe with javascript returned to the client.

here's the relevant code:

<script src="/js/ajax.js" type="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT"></script>
<div id="div_find_model"></div>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
find_model();
//-->
</script>

and what is being returned to fill that div with: document.getElementById('div_find_model').innerHTML = http.responseText;
is the following:

<select name="brand_id" style="width: 120" class="form_select" onChange="find_model(this.value);">
<option value=0>Select Brand</option>
<option ....>a list of options here</option>
</select>
[\code]

Ok, so here is what happens, The first code executes properly, but once an item is selected from the drop down, it is not executing find_model() again. The javascrip console in Firefox is telling me that find_model is not a function. It is a function, and it executes properly when it is called from outside of the div.

How do I fix this?

Where is find_model defined? What's in it?

find_model is defined in src="/js/ajax.js" and the function works fine.
When called it does all the ajax stuff that loads the content into <div id="div_find_model"></div>.

It works perfectly fine in the first block of code above...but when I try to call the function again from the returned code (to relaod the ajax div) it does not work.

I found the problem. apparently javascript looks at the whole page. Code that I didn't include on here is the form code.

the form code was

<form method="post" action="/equipment" name="find_model">

The form was named the same as the javascript function, changing the name of either fixes the problem.
