    if(http.readyState == 4){
        var response = http.responseText;
        var update = new Array();
         if(response.indexOf('|' != -1)) {

So, if it doesn't find a | (pipe) in the returned page, it won't do anything!

            update = response.split('|');
            document.getElementById(update[0]).innerHTML = update[1];
        }
    }

} </script> </head> <body> <?php $event['deleteevent']='<a href="javascript:sendRequest(delete,32423434234234234324)">Delete this event</a>'; echo $event['deleteevent']; ?> </body> </html> this is the 'eventaction.php script yo test if the ajax script works <?

Does your server allow for short_tags = On ???

if($_GET['takeaction']=="delete"){ $uid=$_GET['uid']; echo $uid;

Well, as mentioned above, where is the | (pipe) that your JS code is expecting??? Plus, where is the name of the object that you are wanting to take action upon? Looks like your JS is needing something like this. echo "{$div_id}|{$uid}"; Hope this helps

exit; } ?>
