Here's my code:

Code:

function Notification(action, cat) 
	{	
		http.open('post', 'multimedia.php');
		http.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
		http.onreadystatechange = HandleNotifiaction;
		http.send('action='+ action +'&cat='+ cat +'&method=ajax');
		
		return false;
	}
	
	function HandleNotifiaction() 
	{	
		if (http.readyState == 1)
		{ 
			document.getElementById('video').innerHTML = "Please wait, loading..." ; 
		} 
		else if (http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200)
		{
			var response = http.responseText;
			
			document.getElementById('video').innerHTML = response;
		}
	}

This works so far. Now what I want to do is to pass the variable "cat" to the "HandleNotifiaction" function. I tried this

Notification()

Code:

http.onreadystatechange = HandleNotifiaction(cat);

And changed "Handlenotification" to this:

Code:

function HandleNotifiaction(Span) 
	{	
		if (http.readyState == 1)
		{ 
			document.getElementById(Span).innerHTML = "Please wait, loading..." ; 
		} 
		else if (http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200)
		{
			var response = http.responseText;
			
			document.getElementById(Span).innerHTML = response;
		}
	}

But it only works for the first "innerHTML". It keeps saying "Please wait, loading...". Though, the data will be submitted correctly. Seems like "cat" gets lost somewhere.

I have 2 spans and want to update the correct one, without creating 2 functions.

Help is appreciated as always.

I don't think it's possible to send an argument with a direct call, instead let's take a small round trip:

Code:

http.onreadystatechange =function() { 
       HandleNotification(http, cat);
}

...

function HandleNotification(http,Span){
...

Thanks a lot, Sir! Works perfectly!
