Refresh only a div in php

Question

Question by user1241123

I have a chat box that i want to update 🙂 But I want only to refresh the div and not the hole page… Can someone help me??

Code:

<div align="right" id="chat">
<?php
include 'Chat.php';

?>
</div>

You can’t do it with a server side script like php

However, Using jQuery, when you need to update the div. Simply use

$("#chat").load("Chat.php");

For an example, make a request to the server when a user finishes typing on a textbox, and load the recent chat text.

$("#textbox").change(function() {
    $("#chat").load("Chat.php");
});
