Bookmarking callback

[Grumps]

Im trying to build a bookmarking feature with ajax and everything has work until i come across the callback problem.

document.getEle mentById during stateChanged

Im trying to make possible

document.getElementById(id).innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText

as im having multiple div id on my page each page will have 15 mysql result and will be ID by their ID. For example

<div id="1"></div><div id="2"></div><div id="3"></div>

I have no idea why but it doesnt seem to work but would only work when i place getElementById as a fixed value such as

document.getElementById("msg").innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText

for

<div id="msg"></div>

in this way, i cant perform any unique response to my list of mysql result. Please help.

Nah, i wasnt trying to change the style, it was to retrieve an echo result on stateChange. Anyway, i have found my solution to it. Thanks anyway.

One comment about your preceeding naming conventions (with respect to Div Id). While JavaScript will treat a number as a string, it is a very bad idea to ask it to do so with respect to Div Element Ids. Some browsers (Ex. Internet Explorer) use direct DOM calls to retrieve a Div element By Id, and the function called will try to treat the value as a number first. Document element 2 is not nececessarily the object with ID of 2. Try using "elem2" as an ID (for example). It is a good practice that all identifiers both in formatting, scripting, and logic are using a legitimate string as it's identifying value (name or ID). This (of course) does not apply to databases, but at least it prevents ambiguities in typeless languages.
