okay here is my script on a js file
function ajaxLoader(url,id)
{
if (document.getElementById) {
var x = (window.ActiveXObject) ? new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") : new XMLHttpRequest();
}
if (x)
{
x.onreadystatechange = function()
{
if (x.readyState == 4 && x.status == 200)
{
el = document.getElementById(id);
el.innerHTML = x.responseText;
}
}
x.open("GET", url, true);
x.send(null);
}
}

I'm not sure about xml, but it looks like your first if statement terminates prematurely for one...

But that is only a guess.

And your second if statement does'nt look right.

Also a guess, on my part

from my limited experience with VB, I know that when your nesting multiple statements like that, there are bound to be errors. I would wager that it is either one or the other, or both of what I stated above.

what you could do alternatively then, is to type it out in MSPAINT, or equivalent, then post the resulting pic.

Yeah, the board probably has filters for code, to deter hackers.

here is the xml
< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

< div id="content">
< div id="sidebar">
< div id="menu">
< p class="h4">

and here is the JS
function ajaxLoader(url,id)
{
if (document.getElementById) {
var x = (window.ActiveXObject) ? new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") : new XMLHttpRequest();
}
if (x)
{
x.onreadystatechange = function()
{
if (x.readyState == 4 && x.status == 200)
{
el = document.getElementById(id);
el.innerHTML = x.responseText;
}
}
x.open("GET", url, true);
x.send(null);
}
}
ok so this is called in the html file like this
< html>

< head>

< link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="scripts/ml.css">

< script "JavaScript1.2" src="scripts/scripts.js">< /script>

The only thing I can see wrong with the XML is that the line break (BR) should have a self closing tag like "<BR />". Other than that I dont' see anything right off hand. My bet is that the error is in the _javascript portion of the code. Open your page in Mozilla Fire Fox and selelect JavaScrpt Console under the Tools menu. If a dynamic feature is not working that's where I usually start.

i figured out what the problem was since i wasnt using an absolute URI the xml file did not know where to call the next xml file from but now its working so you can visit my site and try it out, by the way i made it for IE7 so it should be working fine in other browsers but for best effect use IE ok the link is in my signiature let me know how you like what i'm doing there ius still a lot more left to add however but the layout is pretty much donne

hey o anyone that is interested i will be uploading the new version of my site in a few days so check out the current version if you want to se the improvements
