Hello, I have a div on my page that looks like that:

<div id="rightBg">
<? include("stat.php"); ?>
</div>

I want to refresh this DIV.

This does not work:

<!-- <javascript> -->
function refreshDiv(myDiv) {
//alert('I see this');
curDiv = document.getElementById(divID);
curDiv.refresh();
}
<!-- </javascript> -->

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

It doesn't work because [tt]refresh()[/tt] is not a member function for that object.

There are a number of options... the simplest would be to include an [tt]iframe[/tt] inside your [tt]div[/tt] and then reload the contents of the [tt]iframe[/tt].

Otherwise you'll need to do some reading about asynchronous javascript and xml (AJAX apparently) and use that to fire off a http request to the server and populate the [tt]innerText[/tt] property of the [tt]div[/tt].
