Also, prototype provides methods for accessing elements and content which are preferred since they are designed to account for browser differences. Specifically,
$('test_div').update(reponse.responseText); See the docs on Element.update for more details.

I tried executing eval on the response separately before going with Prototype, and seeing that prototype evaluates javascript in the reponseText, I gave it a spin. However, when I try using the javascript functionality after setting the innerHTML, still it does not seem to have got evaluated. My sample JSP code looks like this: <script type="text/javascript"> function sayHi(){ alert("hi"); } </script> <p>test</p> <input type="button" value="click" onClick="sayHi()"> I do the AJAX call like this on another page of the same app: new Ajax.Request(page, { onSuccess: function(reponse) { document.getElementById('test_div').innerHTML=reponse.responseText; } }); When I click the button, I do not get the alert - which I can get if I accessed the JSP dierctly. Is there something additional I need to do to get the sayHi() function working in the target div? Or probably I am missing something trivial altogether. Appreciate your help on this.
