[Javascript] Multiple ajax calls onload

[Peter Brunone]

What about using an array of objects?  Make the array global, and define each request locally so it goes out of scope...?  Of course if the array is just a pointer, you could try defining each request initially AS an element in the array, e.g.  aRequests[i] = new HttpRequest() (or whatever the syntax is for those things).

Cheers,

Peter

My apologies on the reply...

Well, this seems to work if I use two different ajaxme scripts with two
different names of the httprequest object. 

So the question is, is there a way to use variable variables like in PHP
to do this? 

So I could name each instance of my httprequest object something
different?

It's hard to know without looking at your ajaxme() function, but if both
calls are setting innerHTML on the same div, the last one to run is
overwriting all the others. It would be better to change that to
something like this (untested):

var newDiv = document.createElement( 'div' ); newDiv.innerHTML =
"myhtml"; document.getElementById('mydiv').appendChild( newDiv );
