Apologies up front if this is a stupid question (it won't be the first time!), but when exactly is the callserver function actually called? I'm geting the first screen prompting me for the customer number, but when I enter a number nothing happens. Looking at the AJAX2 object I can see that this has not been called.
Is the callserver function called when you enter the first digit or the last digit or when you press ENTER (surely not)? Cheers, Martin --- In [email protected], "K.

When the page from Ajax1 sends the request, the program Ajax 2 is actually sending his html 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. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: dp > To: [email protected] > Sent: Monday, March 13, 2006 3:55 PM > Subject: Re: [Easy400Group] Re: AJAX and iSeries > > > Thanks a lot for the example. I still have one question. I 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.
