Anyone know whats wrong?

[MrCraig]

Im trying out some AJAX to refresh the site stats on HabboSoft.com and so far i have

<script type="text/javascript">
function createRequestObject() {
     var ro;
     var browser = navigator.appName;
     if(browser == "Microsoft Internet Explorer"){
          ro = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
     }else{
          ro = new XMLHttpRequest();
     }
     return ro;
 
  var http = createRequestObject();
}
function handleResponse() {
 if(http.readyState==4)
 {
 response = http.responseText;
 document.getElementById("sitestats").innerHTML = response;
 }
}
function checkonline() {
 http.open('get','online/index.php');
 http.onreadystatechange = handleResponse;
 http.send(null);
}
setInterval("checkonline()",30000);
</script>

However, it has an error icon and doesnt work at all..

Does anyone know how to fix?

Download http://script.aculo.us/

Include it in your page,

	<script type="text/javascript" src="js/prototype.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="js/scriptaculous.js"></script>

Then:

    <script type="text/javascript">

    function update()
    {
    	new Ajax.Updater('sitestats', 'online/index.php');
    }

    update();
    setInterval("update()",30000)
	</script>

[Dentafrice,]

Its an easy way to do things, you can also do effects with it =] Etc.

Or

    <script type="text/javascript">

    function update(div, page)
    {
    	new Ajax.Updater(div, page);
    }
	</script>
	
	<div id="sitestats"></div>
	<div id="information"></div>
	<a href="#" onclick="update('sitestats', 'online/index.php');">Update Stats</a>
	<a href="#" onclick="update('information', 'information/index.php');">Update Information DIV</a>

Just cool stuff
