Okay, that means that 'this' inside the Ajax.Updater is not set to what you
think it is. Try this:
function get_word(elm)
{
new Ajax.Updater
(
'output',
'mylist.php',
{
method: 'get',
parameters: { word: $(elm).readAttribute("id") }
}
);
}
call it with get_word(this) in your inline handler example.
A much neater way to handle this is with an unobtrusive handler. For this HTML
(note the differences):
<div><p class='textword' id='myword1'>myword1</p>
<p class='textword' id='myword2'>myword2</p></div>
<div id="output">[Results appear here.]</div>
could be handled with this JavaScript:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.observe('dom:loaded', function(){
document.on('click','.textword', function(evt, elm){
new Ajax.Updater(
'output',
'mylist.php', {
method: 'get',
parameters: {
word: elm.readAttribute('id')
}
}
);
});
});
</script>
Much cleaner and fewer global variables are massacred.
