Please see this function for the last time. If its correct then I will give you a online reproducible case.
I have created a new variable $num1 --> function getHTML(num) { var saf = 0 ; var num1; if(!num) { num1 = $F('refid'); } else { num1 = num; } var url = '/cgi-bin/tps/search.cgi'; var pars = {num: num1,showallfiles: saf,act: 'showattachedfilesection'}; new Ajax.Updater( {success: 'placeholder'}, url, {method: 'get',parameters: pars,evalScripts: true ,onFailure: reportError }); } On Feb 17, 4:57 pm, Christophe Porteneuve <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey Pankaj, > > First, please stop pinging people for reply.
