Sandy is right. Content loaded to your document using the AJAX method will not have any address bar indicators. Any AJAX RIA development large or small benefits from the right tools, grab a plugin for firefox called "firebug". This plugin will make it easy as pie to watch your requests as they fire off. the interface also offers up some very nice response handling as well. Secondly the mootools documentation is some of the best in the biz, most of it even has working examples right there in the breakdown. This case is no exception, arm yourself with this documentation and you'll discover that you can do anything with this framework. I've been using it for over 3 years and I still use the documentation regularly.
http://mootools.net/docs/core/Native/Function#Function:periodical Another great thing to know is what's actually going on with the "Request" class. When I first started working AJAX I found a tutorial that explains the real deal. Go through this tutorial and you'll know what's actually going on behind the Request's magic curtain. It's not really as much as you might think. http://w3schools.com/ajax/ajax_intro.asp Forgive them for using ASP, the site is a wealth of free and accurate information charts and knowledge, again I reference it regularly. SOLUTION: (credit to Sandy's first response); $("element_ID").load.periodical(5000,this,'test.php'); God bless and good luck with your content ticker as well as all your future projects. - Gary
