Hi,

I am getting an issue when loading the JSP page content via an AJAX call. What i am doing is loading the same page via AJAX call and the java script function values are dynamic values taking from the session.

The problem is that it’s not executing the latest java script that comes in the Ajax page content.

Could someone give an idea?

Appreciate a response.

A sample code is given below.

Regards,
Dinusha00

----------------------my JSP page--------------
<html>

<div id="mypage">
<script>
function addmyselection{
/*
sending an ajax call to the same page and taking the content to ajaxpagecontent variable
*/
document.getElementById("mypage").innerHTML=ajaxpagecontent;
}

function updatelatestvalues(){
document.getElementById("amount").value="<%=sessionamount%>"
}
</script>

<input type="hidden" id="amount" name="amount"/>
<input type="button" id="add" name="add" onclick="addmyselection();"/>
/*
Normal body content
*/

<script>
updatelatestvalues();
</script>

</div>
</html>
--------------------------------

JavaScript is not evaluated when you make place it in the page with innerHTML. You need to manually evaluate it yourself. If you were using a library such as JQuery or Prototpye.js, they would do it for you.

It is madness at this point to do Ajax "by hand". As Eric pointed out, jQuery, or any of the other Ajax-enabled libraries, take care of lots of little nuances (such as script evaluation) that are a pain in the rear to take care of yourself.
