Well, one more example of "asking for help reveals the answer",
in this case partially.
This revised code shows that the blanking out upon mouseout, where
I am using a variable id, works, but I'm still not getting the color
upon mouseover, whether I use a hardcoded id or a variable
=======
....
<td style="border:thin solid"
onMouseOver="showColor( ' . $tableCounter . ' )"
onMouseOut="blankOut( ' . $tableCounter . ' )">' . $name . '</td>
....
function showColor ( i ) {
var where = 'color' + i
xmlHttp = getXmlHttpObject()
var uri = 'getColor.php?where=' + where
uri = uri + '&sid=' + Math.random()
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = stateChanged( where )
xmlHttp.open( 'GET', uri, true )
xmlHttp.send( null )
}
function blankOut ( i ) {
var where = 'color' + i
// this works (using a testing value instead of '' for visibility)
document.getElementById( where ).innerHTML = 'x'
}
function stateChanged( where ) {
if ( xmlHttp.readyState == 4 || xmlHttp.readyState == "complete" ) {
// these both get the correct response
// but neither loads the innerHTML
document.getElementById( 'color1' ).innerHTML = xmlHttp.responseText
// document.getElementById( where ).innerHTML = xmlHttp.responseText
}
}
