Well, first of all, clean up the code and don't use inline event
handlers, logic is much more difficult to add there :)
I'd do something like this:
document.observe("dom:loaded", function() {
var updater;
$$(".navigation_link").invoke("observe", "click", function(event) {
event.stop();
if (updater) updater.stop();
updater = new Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater(this.readAttribute("href"), {
method: "get", ... });
});
});
And change the html to something like
<a href="index.php?page=1" class="navigation_link">Home</a>
<a href="index.php?page=2" class="navigation_link">Articles</a>
This way, if javascript if disabled, the link will be followed anyway
and your users won't be stuck in the current page :)
Best,
-Nicolas
