Re: How to refresh content within div in perl CGI ?

There's a way to do this without JavaScript: turn the <div> into a <iframe>. The iframe loads another CGI, which outputs just the updated data.

It's probably better to go the JavaScript route, though.

While it can work (sort of, in certain ways), please note well this part of the post: It's probably better to go the JavaScript route, though. Iframes come with their own problems and Ajax is not that hard.	[reply]
