Darrin, Thanks for pointing that out. The loop was correct originally, but it got mangled during debugging. The corrected code is:
/** Update multiple areas (HTML container elements). * @param areaCsvString The area CSV string. The CSV string is a flat array in the * form of: areaId, target, target parameters [, areaId, target, target parameters...]. */ function ajaxUpdateAreas(areaCsvString) { var areaArray = areaCsvString.split(","); var numAreas = parseInt(areaArray.length / 3); for (var i = 0; i < numAreas * 3; i = i + 3) { new Ajax.Updater(areaArray[i], areaArray[i + 1], {parameters: areaArray[i + 2]}); } } It still doesn't work in IE.
