you're right, data doesn't get merged by using the updater. my problem
is that the data get merged in a div while a user clicks and activates
an update during page load, if so data get merged.
how can I fix this quick without rewriting a lot of scripts ... I'm
not using on dom:loaded...so I'm looking for a way to implement this
in the function below. any hint would be helpful.
function update(id,url) {
if($(id)) {
new Ajax.Updater(id,url,{
asynchronous:true,
evalScripts:true,
onFailure: function(obj) {$(id).update
('<center><strong>error...<strong></center>'); }
});
}
}
