Hi,

I have a website.
I want to show current date and time on the top of my site.
And I want to refresh that time in every second without refreshing whole page.
How it will be possible to refresh that particular portion without clicking anywhere in site.

Thanks in advance....

Why do you want to use AJAX for that? Just client-side JavaScript should be sufficient for that, no?

Add the page name at the top of the javascript
var page = "test.jsp";
<script type="text/javascript">
var page = "test.jsp";
function ajax(url,target)
{
// native XMLHttpRequest object
document.getElementById(target).innerHTML = 'sending...';
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.onreadystatechange = function() {ajaxDone(target);};
req.open("GET", url, true);
req.send(null);
// IE/Windows ActiveX version
} else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
if (req) {
req.onreadystatechange = function() {ajaxDone(target);};
req.open("GET", url, true);
req.send();
}
}
setTimeout("ajax(page,'scriptoutput')", 10000);
}

function ajaxDone(target) {
// only if req is "loaded"
if (req.readyState == 4) {
// only if "OK"
if (req.status == 200 || req.status == 304) {
results = req.responseText;
document.getElementById(target).innerHTML = results;
} else {
document.getElementById(target).innerHTML="ajax error:\n" +
req.statusText;
}
}
}
</script>


Adjust the reload time here:
setTimeout("ajax(page,'scriptoutput')", 10000);

Call the script onload of the form
<body onload="ajax(page,'scriptoutput')">

Define an area for the content:

Current Server date & time (updated every 10 seconds):

<span id="scriptoutput"></span>



This works for me

<script language="javascript">
var cuurTime=null;
function setCurrTime(){
cuurTime=new Date();
var divTime=document.createElement("id");
divTime.setAttribute("id","timeDiv");
document.body.appendChild(divTime);
divTime.innerHTML=cuurTime.toString();
}
window.setInterval(function(){
var divTime=document.getElementById("timeDiv");
var cuurTime=new Date();
divTime.innerHTML=cuurTime.toString();
},1000);
</script>

this works for me!

You don't. Just add it to your web page and watch what happens.

put all the function that you want to onload first into a new function bind to the onload event

you can have it semicolon separated....like this

<body onload="setFocusOnLoad();ajax(page,'scriptoutput');">
