So you are trying to use jQuery's ".load()" functionality with an actual image (i assume that your php sets the content type to image/ jpeg, image/gif, etc and writes out the actual binary image data) ?
that's not going to work, as the ".load()" loads the result of the Ajax call into the innerHtml of DOM object I don't know though, you're talking "same function" but have posted about three different functions so far, $.ajax, .load, and your custom function.... but bottom line is, the $.ajax call which ultimately gets called wouldn't be a replacement for <img src="your.php" />, *unless* you wanted to use data url vales as image sources (like: http://www.websiteoptimization.com/speed/tweak/inline-images/), but the problem with that, like almost all cool ideas like that link shows, is it doesn't work with IE On Jan 6, 10:48 am, Mean Mike <mcgra...@gmail.com> wrote: > basically all ajax calls go through > > $.ajax({.....}); > > I made a function that gets passed all the parameters that I want in > the ajax call > > oddly enough i can't get load to work right either i just get Array > returned > > On Jan 6, 10:33 am, MorningZ <morni...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > I want all my ajax calls to run through the same ajax function > > > What "same" ajax function? > > > On Jan 6, 10:29 am, Mean Mike <mcgra...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > ok so I figured out that you can put in image in your page using .load > > > (imageloader.php) but is there a way to load an image using regular > > > ajax call . > > > > alittle more explanation of what I'm trying to do > > > > in my php I use imagejpeg function which outputs the image using gd > > > great! > > > > and in my html i use to just go <img src="imageloader.php? > > > dir=directory&name=filename" /> and that worked except now I don't > > > want to pass that info in the query string I want to post the info AND > > > I want all my ajax calls to run through the same ajax function which > > > is why I don't want to use .load > > > > any thoughts or suggestions > > > > mean mike
