[Javascript] Multiple ajax calls onload

[Murphy, Matt]

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? 

Matt

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 );

Also, please don't use "Reply" to start a new thread.  Some of us are
using threaded email clients that get confused by that.

Peace,
