My quick fix didn't work because it put entries into the database as

Anyway, Ajax is usually used to open an external file into a div,
and it uses a form to send the request. What I want to do is
trigger a php script to run when someone clicks a certain anchor
URL. I guess you would call it my own stats attempt. So I have no
form, and nothing to be displayed on the current page because the
user is going to URL from the click.
AJAX is just the technique to use for Javascript to invoke a PHP
script. It has nothing to do with loading anything, that is up to
your logic. I use the Yahoo User Interface libraries when I want to
do AJAX (just my preference). There are many places where I send a
POST string to my script with information and I don't care what is returned.
Just set up an "OnClick" Javascript function which does the AJAX POST
to your php script and then continues to where ever you want.

Please be gentle with me -- but what am I missing and is it at all
possible, Ajax or not?

Subject: Re: [nyphp-talk] javascript calling php function
I so wanted to avoid using Ajax only because my webpages are simple
ones. I've implemented Ajax on another website, and I'll just bring
it over here. Or, I'll might stay with the "you have an error"
message in the status line, because the function is working -- the
data from the called function does go into my database. My users
are mostly low tech, and they probably wouldn't notice the error,
but I know how I react when I see "Done, with errors" at a major website!
Thanks for the responses.
Susan
