Hi Tedd.
Thanks for your e-mail.
That's returning a graphic and I was looking to get a return of text
so the Javascript could make use of it. Unless I overlooked
something in your example?
Best regards,
David

No problem returning text either.

You just need to figure out how to use AJAX (actually AHAH) to send
commands from the client-side browser to the server-side php script
to do something. After which, the php script then returns the
required text (HTML) that a client-side Javascript routine via DOM
scripting uses to alter the current page DOM presenting a different
layout to the browser/user.
The HTML is there and so is the Javascript. The only thing you need
is the slave.php script that receives the commands via a GET (see the
Javascript routines).
The slave.php script simply takes the command and then sends back the
HTML needed to create the next page.
It's very simple. You should be able to do this (I figured it out)
-- if you can't, then I am available for hire. Please contact me
off-list.
Cheers,
tedd

I'm using Tumblr.com for a blog platform for a new website. It has
a lot of benefits as a blog, but it also has the restriction of
not being able to embed PHP code in the HTML theme template. (Yes,
I know, my feelings exactly! :-) )
But Tumblr does support Javascript. What I'm trying to do is get
the county code of the user so that different links can be
presented to them that matches their country. Serving up different
links based on the country code would be handled by Javascript.
There is a Javascript Google library jsapi, but it doesn't work
properly for county code. For example, I'm in the New York City
metro area and it says I'm in Canada, not the US. I don't
recalling having this kind of problem with PHP scripts, so I'd
like to use a PHP script. But I don't know of a way in JavaScript
to be able to call a PHP script and make the result accessible
with the Javascript so it can serve up the correct country links.
I admit I've not done much Javascript programming compared to PHP,
so I'm not sure if I'm overlooking something. Maybe this is a AJAX
and jQuery task? I'd appreciate it if someone could offer a
workable solution.
Thanks in advance!

David:
Certainly a Javascript program can call a php script -- here's a demo:

There's a description at the site.
