the div object doesn't have value property,
and it's better to make a request insted a updater
new Ajax.request('randy.php?ajax=1,{
parameters:{
parameter1:'value1',
parameter2:'value2',
.......
},
onSuccess: function(transport){
var test = $('testdiv');//it's equal to document.getElementById
('testdiv')
if("SomeString" != test.innerHTML)
test.update(transport.responseText);
}
});
