Using values passed through AJAX

[Matthew White]

Hello,

I have an AJAX website that call on a PHP page to tell it how to handle the
back/forward buttons. This involves sending a user id (randomly created at
the start of the session) and a variable that tells PHP what page to look
for in the history. This is the code (using Mootools):

function retrievehistory(userid, location){
var params = Object.toQueryString({id: userid, pageid: location,
action:"retrieve"});
var myAjax = new Ajax("history.php", {method: 'post', data: params, update:
$('bodydiv')}).request();
}

The history.php page sends back the address of the page you were last on.
How do I use this value? It needs to take the value and then submit that to
another function that load the page. If anyone can find a way to process
that information using either Mootools or Dojo or plain Javascript, I would
be appreciative.

Thanks in advance,
Matthew White

Not sure what this Ajax object is...

In your Ajax callback handler set the document.location to the value
returned. Because I don't know
anything about this Ajax object I can't say for sure how to get the
responseText from it, etc., but basically
you want to set the document.location to the value of the
XMLHttpRequest's responseText.

The AJAX object is part of Mootools, a JavaScript framework.

The AJAX object is part of Mootools, a JavaScript framework.

A quick search for "framework" reveals that those so-called frameworks,
written by incompetent script-kiddies, based on other frameworks written
by incompetent script-kiddies, are as popular here as is
