Reference - Methods

The request is the only method you need to call when you use DynAjax.

It takes two parameters: one string containing the request attributes, and a js function to handle the response (optional)

request(attributestring, resultfunc)

The attributes string

Format of the attribute string: 'attribute1: value1; attribute2: value2; ...'

• respfile
  The name of the responsefile. It can also contain parameters
  (eg. 'respfile: response.php;' or 'respfile: response.jsp?myparam=mydata;')
• resultloc
  A string containing the id of the HTML element the result will be placed to.
  (eg. 'resultloc: mydiv;')
• paramdiv
  A string containing the id of the HTML element that contains the input fields necessary to be posted to the server. Put null if you don't want to send html data.
  The input fields can be:
  • input text

    <input type="text" name="mytext" />
    

  • input hidden text

    <input type="hidden" name="myhidden" />

Resultfunc parameter

Optional. Can take a javascript function that will be called when the response is given. The response data will be available in its first argument. eg:
