I am using the following html page:

<html>  <head>  <title>AJAX Example</title>  <meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html'; charset='iso-8859-1'>  </head>  <script language='JavaScript' src='ajaxlib.js'></script>  <!--define the ajax javascript library-->  <body>  Click this <a href='#' OnClick='GetEmployee()'>link</a> to show ajax  content (will be processed backgroundly without  refreshing whole page)<br/>  <!--a href=# OnClick=GetEmployee() is the javascript event on a  link to execute javascript function (GetEmployee) inside ajaxlib.js-->  <div id='Result'>< the result will be fetched here ></div>  <!--javascript use GetElementById function to replace the data  backgroundly, we use <div> tag with  id Result here so javascript  can replace this value-->  </body>  </html>

  1. For starters, your getEmployee() function should return false; to prevent the default action on the <a>. The little boxes thing seems to imply that the character sets aren’t matching up. Make sure that the HTML page and the PHP page both use the same character set. I’d suggest trying to make everything UTF-8.

    Edit: misread slightly – I think it’s the character set PHP is outputting doesn’t match the character set in your database.
