Hi

I am working with ajax.
`<form action="javascript:ajaxpage('files/search2.php', 'columnTwo')" method="POST">
                            Email :<input type="text" name="email" value=""/>
                            <button>Submit
</form>`

The problem is search2.php does not work properly.

It echo's the statements  "The Email ID is :" but is not able to echo the value i.e $email
search2.php
`<?php

    $email = $_POST['email'];
    echo "The Email ID is :";
    echo $email;
?>

<html>
<body>
    <h1>Hello World</h1>
</body>
</html>`

Hi,

This is javascript and function ajax :-

        <script type="text/javascript">
            var loadedobjects=""
            var rootdomain="http://"+window.location.hostname

            function ajaxpage(url, containerid)
            {
            var page_request = false
            if (window.XMLHttpRequest) // if Mozilla, Safari etc
            page_request = new XMLHttpRequest()
            else if (window.ActiveXObject){ // if IE
            try {
            page_request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
            } 
            catch (e){
            try{
            page_request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
            }
            catch (e){}
            }
            }
            else
            return false
            page_request.onreadystatechange=function(){
            loadpage(page_request, containerid)
            }
            page_request.open('GET', url, true)
            page_request.send(null)
            }

            function loadpage(page_request, containerid){
            if (page_request.readyState == 4 && (page_request.status==200 || window.location.href.indexOf("http")==-1))
            document.getElementById(containerid).innerHTML=page_request.responseText
            }

            function loadobjs(){
            if (!document.getElementById)
            return
            for (i=0; i<arguments.length; i++){
            var file=arguments[i]
            var fileref=""
            if (loadedobjects.indexOf(file)==-1){ //Check to see if this object has not already been added to page before proceeding
            if (file.indexOf(".js")!=-1){ //If object is a js file
            fileref=document.createElement('script')
            fileref.setAttribute("type","text/javascript");
            fileref.setAttribute("src", file);
            }
            else if (file.indexOf(".css")!=-1){ //If object is a css file
            fileref=document.createElement("link")
            fileref.setAttribute("rel", "stylesheet");
            fileref.setAttribute("type", "text/css");
            fileref.setAttribute("href", file);
            }
            }
            if (fileref!=""){
            document.getElementsByTagName("head").item(0).appendChild(fileref)
            loadedobjects+=file+" " //Remember this object as being already added to page
            }
            }
            }
    </script>
