Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater not updating asynchronously

**Dopple** · 02-26-2007 05:42 AM

Hullo there. This script below is being called onload of my page using the following code...

HTML Code:

<body onload="javascript:testit('testdiv','/ajax.php')">

My problem is that it only semi works. If I remove the url = url + '?BogusVariable=' + new Date; line then if I refresh the page that the sql query is on, it will then update. But I was told by Bokeh in the PHP forum that this was a caching issue and to append th date onto the url as a variable. This then stops the script from working all together. I have been through countless examples but nowhere seems to have an example of what I'm trying to do. Can anyone help me get a working example?

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
	testit = function (id,url){
	url  = url + '?BogusVariable=' + new Date;
		new Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater(id, url,   
		{
			method: 'get',
			frequency: 1,
			asynchronous: true,
			insertion: Element.update,
			decay: 2   
		});
	}

</script>

Incidentally as a test script I changed the sql atatement and the loop to...

PHP Code:


<?php

    $time = time();

    echo $time;

?>

so that I wouldn't have to keep adding an entry into the database to test this. It still won't work though. Is there something I am missing here? I have tried every combination of the script that I can find on the internet and am having no luck at all.

If anyone is interested here's what the problem was. It was caching only in IE and the solution? change the 'get' method to 'post'.
You live and learn eh?
