Hi, Don't take this the wrong way, but unless you're using a different version of Prototype than I've seen (I've only ever used 1.6 onward), I think you really need to read through the docs a bit more thoroughly:
http://www.prototypejs.org/api/ajax/options http://www.prototypejs.org/api/ajax/updater At a glance, there are at least a couple of problems with your use of Ajax.Updater: 1. You're using options in the options object that don't exist (there is no "success" option). 2. You're missing a parameter to the constructor. 3. The parameters you have supplied are in the wrong order. ...and it's entirely possible you meant to use Ajax.Request rather than Ajax.Updater; I can't be sure. Hope this helps, -- T.J.
