Ok everyone, it works!  Thanks to all who helped me out.  I'm not quite sure what I'll do with it now, but the first thing that comes to mind is edit checking forms against data in a file and sending the errors to the same page instead of displaying them on a separate page and having the user go back and fix them.  I still have to find a way of returning records(either in XML or a string) to load something like a selection list.  It's been a eye opener and something I think all CGIDEV2 shops should really take a look at.  Your users will love you for it.
 
Again, thanks everyone!!
Doug

Thanks for the encouragement.  I've now got past the Server Error and right into my next problem - which is definitely the last.  Somehow AJAX2 is not getting the variable passed to it from AJAX1, resulting in  a bad CHAIN.  Once I get this straightened out, I should have my first AJAX program working.  I know there's a beer with my name on it when I get out of here.

Not that it helps any, but this your first time trying to do this type of programming. And that's more than I can currently say.

I'm on a roll, a unsuspecting underscore was found so I got rid of it and it went passed that point, onto the next error..
Internal Server Error
Cannot read script output pipe.
Customer Group__: undefined

 
I get this inside the updatepage function.  I did an alert(response) and it basically included just what I am showing above.
I feel like this is my first day of programming, not my 20th year.  Egads.

Forget the latest issue, I fixed it replacing

<script TYPE="text/_JavaScript"> with

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=_javascript>
 
Now I'm receiving "Object doesn't support this property or method" on line
xmlHttp._onreadystatechange = updatePage;
 
I wonder if what I fixed above is somehow causing this error??

Hey guys - we're getting closer!!  I'm having a hard time firing up the callServer function.  I keep receiving "Error: Object Expected" on the _onChange style.  It appears _onchange="callServer()" is the culprit.  I have the function defined just like the call, with no parms being passed, so what gives?  Ideas?

Doug,

I had exactly the same problem understanding the relation between the
html files, and placing the use of the concept within CGIDEV2.

> What page do you reference in your gethtmlifs procedure in ajax2??

callp gethtmlifs('/cgiprd/ajax2.html')

K. Schreur is correct. Maybe it is easier to explain in the sense
that what ajax2 returns is not really 'html', it is just a text string
(you can see this if you stick a js 'Alert' box in the updatePage).  
And it is the _javascript in ajax1 that takes that string, parses it
and updates the ajax2 page dynamically in the updatePage function. In
the 'onlamp' example, you will see that they build a whole table
dynamically for the innerHTML.

back to the _javascript on page ajax 1 that is waiting for it. The
_javascript on the ajax 1 page is waiting for the reply through the
XmlHTTP._onreadystatechange. Once it receives it, the other _javascript
is then called to update the existing ajax 1 html page.

understand how AJAX2 gets the customer # and sends back the
response.  I guess I don't understand how the html stuff on
ajax2.html gets put on ajax1.html's page.  What page do you reference
in your gethtmlifs procedure in ajax2??
