Sample Code
in my php
<div id="mainDiv" style="display:none" >
<div id="innerDiv" style="display:none"
></div>
<div id="outerDiv" style="display:none"
></div>
</div>
in my function I display the mainDiv using.
Element.show(''mainDiv'');
Then I do a Ajax.Updater and the first time I try to load the content
into the innerDiv. I get
innerDiv is not defined in FireBug.
I know what the reason for this is; that in my first call I show the
parent Div "mainDiv" but the innerDIV has not registered with the DOM.
My question is how do I show the parentDiv("mainDiv") and the child
div at the same time so when I do my Ajax.Updater the
childDiv("innerDiv") is registered with the DOM and I can place the
XHTML into that div? After this works I flip the content out between
the two div''s. That way one div is displaying the content to the user
and the other div is getting new content.

And incidentally, displaying an element doesn''t "register" it with the DOM--the entire DOM is built up as the page loads; even hidden elements are added to the DOM, they''re just not visible in the browser. So I''m not sure what the problem in your code is, without seeing the code. Bonus tip: if you''re using the latest version of Prototype (and you really should be), you can write $(''mainDiv'').show() instead of Element.show(''mainDiv''). :Dan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

In that case you might want to wrap your ajax-call in a dom loaded observer... document.observe(''dom:loaded'', function(){ //ajax call here }) This ensures that all your DOM elements are actually loaded before you try calling them.
