Putting the code as a script did not work, I expect, because the script
was not served by Ajax.updater.
Using Firebug I determined that the script was stripped out, which
raises the next question.
I know that I need to set a parameter to updater so that it will not
strip scripts. I have read the section on
evalScripts and the need to set the function with coolFunc = function () {
...
}
The script that loads the form is invoked as:
new Ajax.Updater('showMessageDiv',url , {method: 'get',evalScripts:
true} ); // get the requested message
where url is defined as: url = 'mail/getmessage.php?n=' + message_id;
but it does not upload the script so I suspect that I have the
evalScripts in the wrong place.
