Fun with AJAX

  • Hello Again, So,
    I need to refresh a div which only holds data that had been populate through php. So this is the div at the moment.
    <div id=\"example\"><?php include_once(\"example.php\"); ?></div>

    And i need to refresh that with out refreshing the whole page, basically the contents of the example php file have changed and so need to reload them.
    I thought that Ajax would probably be my best bet but i'm not sure how to get it to work.
    So the function has been called, then in the ajax i do,
    document.getElementById(\"example\").innerHtml = \"...

    Is this the right start, if so what now?

    I just wrote this code from my head so there are probably some errors but i just wanted to get a general idea of where to go now.

    Many Thanks
    Chris
