My whole page is loading again whenever I make a ajax call to load a div.
I have noticed that ‘body onload=init()’ onload event is getting triggered on ajax response and all the initialization is happening again. I don’t want that to happen.
Is there a way by which only div is loaded through ajax call.
<body onload="init()">
.....
.....
<div>...<a href="" onclick="saveView('more')"><b>More</b></a></div>
</body>
main.js
function saveView(arg){
if(arg=="more"){
ajaxGet(baseRef+"all.html", loadList);
}else{
ajaxGet(baseRef+"all-A.html", loadList);
}
function init(){
.....
}
function ajaxGet(url, responseHandler)
{
var page_request = false;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest && !(window.ActiveXObject && window.location.protocol == "file:")) {
// use this only if available, and not using IE on a local filesystem
page_request = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else if (window.ActiveXObject) { // older versions of IE, or IE on a local filesystem
try {
page_request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
}
catch (e){
try{
page_request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
catch (e){
}
}
}
else {
alert("Your browser does not support XMLHTTP.");
return false;
}
page_request.onreadystatechange=function() {
if(page_request.readyState==4) {
// on local machines the status for success is 0. on web servers it is 200
if(page_request.status==200 || page_request.status==0) {
responseHandler(page_request);
}
}
}
page_request.open('GET', url, true);
page_request.send(null);
}
function loadList(page_request){
document.getElementById("list").innerHTML=page_request.responseText;
Loaded = true;
try{
if(pLoaded)
doFilterStateChange1();
}catch(e)
{
}
setTimeout("restoreScrollTop()", 1000);
}
It is not ajax that is triggering onLoad event of body.
If you see the anchor tag, I haven’t assigned any value to href=”” which was causing the page to be loaded again. Removing it solved the problem.
