"Death before Flash". Nuff said.
I found a solution, however some functions with Prototype aren't
working for some reason. I started another post about that.
element.update has no properties...which is strange. It's an empty
element, and it's definitely there.
My research today said something about opening up the DOM security,
which is possible, but not recommended at any level. So, the
non-refresh gets taken care of by iFrame, and the load of the iFrame
launches an event.observer target function that should do what I want.
95% of it works. The observe works, calls the function, but for some
reason, my target div doesn't have any properties. Like it's not
there. Very very strange.
Cheers
