In continue of this topic:
I got a table in the db with the following records: storyID and description
i want it to work so when some1 click on the “read” link it’ll open a window in the center of the page with texts in it.
So far i’ve started in this way:
Stories.ASP in the HEAD tag, function to hide the DIV and another function to get the selected story ID
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function (hide) {
document.getElementById('stories').style.visibility='hidden';
}
function morephotos (storyID) {
var xmlHttp;
var resp = 'CLOSE';
try {
xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
catch (e) {
try {
xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
}
catch (e) {
try {
xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
catch (e) {
alert ('Your browser does not handle the photo selection process');
return false;
}
}
}
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4) {
resp = xmlHttp.responseText;
if (resp == 'ERROR') {
alert ('There was a problem getting the photos.');
} else {
el = document.getElementById('photos');
el..innerHTML = resp;
el.style.visibility = 'visible';
}
}
var photos = 'getstories.asp?storyID=' + storyID;
xmlHttp.open ("GET",data,true);
xmlHttp.send (null);
}
</script>
in the BODY tag
<div id="stories"></div>
...
<span onclick="morephotos('<%=table1(0,iCounter)%>')">Read</span>
what do i need to do next? what should the GetStories.asp contain…
thanks for the help
