I know when you using AJAX if you get some javascript from your reponce it doesnt run so you have to eval the javascript code out.

But how do i eval this responce???

Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="Public/index.php?id=2"></script>

now the above code has inside some basic javascript of:

Code:

document.write('LOTS OF HTML HERE. NOTHING ELSE');

Any one have any ideas how i display the html of the above line in a DIV on my page after getting the responce from my AJAX??

If you need to say any other code let me know

Cheers

There should only be the path to the file in the AJAX response, and then you create a script tag using DOM and add it to the DIV:

var path_to_js_file = /* response from AJAX */;
 
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.addAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
script.addAttribute('src', path_to_js_file);
 
document.getElementById('your-div').appendChild(script); 

(Untested)

ok here is the code im using to test your method

Code:

function getPreview()
{

	var path_to_js_file = "Public/index.php?id=2";
	var script = document.createElement('script');
	script.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
	script.setAttribute('src', path_to_js_file);
	document.getElementById('getPreview').appendChild(script);
}

now addAttribute didnt work so i presume you ment setAttribute??

the above code apears to do nothing in IE7 but no errors happen. In FF the code runs but the whole page is refreshed with the js file rather than putting it in my div that I have told it to go into.

Any Ideas?

Yes, my bad, I meant setAttribute().

However, is there a special reason why you're using Javascript to write the HTML? If not, then I'd just call the HTML file via AJAX request and put its content in the DIV. Without document.write().
