  Fill <div> with content from server
Posted by trump4 on Feb-17-2009 20:31
Hello,
like your example in "Javascript Clickable Chart" I want to update a <div>.
But I would like to get the information from the server.

function showInfo(year, revenue, grossMargin, backLog) {
...
    Something like:
    var content = http_request.send("/cgi-bin/perldemo_cgi/test2.cgi?&abc=111");
    obj.innerHTML = content;


I thought about using JsChartViewer but it seems it always uses an URL from an image, but I do not want to update an image, just a <div>
Any push in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks
Tom

Hi trump4,

You can always get any information you like from the server. It should be standard HTML/Javascript. You should not need any ChartDirector code if you just want to get information from the server.

If you are not sure how to get information from the server, I suggest you may try to test it with a web page, like:

<HTML><BODY>
<SCRIPT>
.... try to write some Javascript code to get information from the server ....
</SCRIPT>
</BODY></HTML>

After you have successfully perform the above, you may use the similar code in the "showInfo".

Hope this can help.
