Page called with XmlHttpRequest can't have Javascript?

[bryan888]

I'm using XmlHttpRequest to get the content of the file and display it. I have a little bit of javascript on the page being retrieved, but that javascript isn't work. Is there a way to get it read the javascript properly?

Thanks,
bryan

Investigate "eval".

Hope this helps,

Thank you very much for the reply.

I put in this:

document.getElementById('changerDiv').innerHTML = eval(http_request.responseText);

("changerDiv" is the div that the content is to be displayed in), and that resulted in some of the pages not being loaded at all.

It's probably line 37 of your responseText.

You can do it like this.
[tt]
//add some non-empty filler ahead of it (somehow arbitrary)
var s="<span style='display:hidden;'>&nbsp;<\/span>";
s+=http_request.responseText;
var oelem=document.getElementById("changerDiv");
oelem.innerHTML="";
if (!!window.ActiveXObject) {
oelem.insertAdjacentHTML("beforeEnd",s);
} else if (!!window.netscape) {
var r=document.createRange();
r.setStartBefore(oelem);
var ohtmlfrag=r.createContextualFragment(s);
oelem.appendChild(ohtmlfrag);
}

You should be done. Note also that for ie, defer attribute is needed for the script component. That you've to do the design proper at server-side.
