hi i made an image slider. it loads all the images from the data base using php and for sliding and timing intervals i used javascrpt and ajax.
through back end of the systems can edit these images and upload new , update and delete.
i want to reflect the changes made in the back end straight away in the front end. so i used ajax request.
but unfortunately it doesn't work :(
this is the first time i'm doing such a thing using ajax. so there maybe errors and in-accurateness. I used ajax to refresh a div. so that div contains everything including php, ajax, javascript. an external file contains function which refreshes the whole thing.

i used firebug and when i check the code i can see the changes i applied through the front end. but the slider doesn't reflect those changes. response is also working as i can see it in firebug console. (also i used an alert() - it worked too).. i don't know how can fix this.. even why it doesn't work.
i will post the content inside that div.

<div id="imageSlider" style="display: none;">
<script type='text/javascript'>

var newImage=new Array();
var imageTime=new Array();



<?php
	
	//$ad_con = new Ad_Controller();
