put the following the head of the page:
<script language="javascript" >
function jah_switch(url,target)
{
if (document.getElementById(target).innerHTML != '')
{
document.getElementById(target).innerHTML = '';
}
else
{
jah(url,target);
}
}
function jah(url,target) {
// native XMLHttpRequest object
document.getElementById(target).innerHTML = '<span class="ajah_waiting"><a href="java script:jah(\''+url+'\',\''+target+'\');">sending...</a>'+url+' </span>';
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.onreadystatechange = function() {jahDone(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() {jahDone(target);};
req.open("GET", url, true);
req.send();
}
}
}
function jahDone(target) {
// only if req is "loaded"
if (req.readyState == 4) {
// only if "OK"
if (req.status == 200) {
results = req.responseText;
document.getElementById(target).innerHTML = results;
} else {
document.getElementById(target).innerHTML="jah error:\n" +
req.statusText;
