AJAX or Refreshing a DVWP in 2007

What would be the method to invoke that on a fixed interval as part of a document.ready function? .wait()? .load()? .delay? .setTimeOut?

I'd set it up to happen on a click of something until I got it right. Then you could use setTimeout if you wanted it to happen on a timed basis.

I'm probably not doing something right. When I try to dump this into a CEWP, the dataview disappears and I have not link to click.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript>
reload() {
$.ajax({
   async: false,
   url: "https://mydomain/sites/sitecoll/pages/default.aspx",
   complete: function (xData, Status) {
      var DVWPMarkup = $(xData.responseText).find("#offerings").html();
      $(#offerings).html(DVWPMarkup);
    }
});

}
</script>
<div>
<a href="#" onClick="javascript:reload();return false">Reload</a>
</div>

Debugging time!

Sorry if I left you hanging. Any luck?

Not really. I might try to put it on a different page and just have an empty div on the default page that the script dumps it into.

The best thing to do for debugging is to just add some alerts which show you what's going on.

For instance:

Code:

var DVWPMarkup = $(xData.responseText).find("#offerings").html();
alert(DVWPMarkup);

Would simply show you what you are getting (if anything) when you try to parse out the contents of the element with id="offerings".

To piggyback Marc's thought, you could also use console.log. That way in the debugger, you'll have text that you can copy an paste into an editor and find out how you want to manipulate it.

Code:

complete: function (xData, Status) {
   console.log(xData.responseXML.xml);
}

Not in IE, you can't. ;+)

You sure about that? I've been doing it for a while now...
