The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Dynamically Loading External PHP into a DIV using Prototype or scriptaculous

Asked by ryanjameswebb in PHP Scripting Language, Asynchronous Javascript and XML (AJAX), PHP and Databases

Tags: PHP prototype scrtipaculous dynamic ajax

I'm sure this is an easy question to answer for the right person.

What I want to do is use prototype and scriptaculous to dynamically load an external PHP file into a div.

To be as percise as possible:

I have an index.php file that has a php include contained inside a div.. something like:

<div id="container" style="width="300px;"

<? include:videos_1_2_and_3.php>

</div>

So this php file would get the 3 most recent videos from the MYSQL database. (Don't worry about this I already have it coded)

Now I also have another php file called
"videos_4_5_and_6.php"

What I want to do is create a link that says "more videos" or "next page" and when it is clicked on it loads videos_4_5_and_6.php where videos_1_2_and_3.php is (IE in the "container" div).

HOWEVER... THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!!

It must load dynamically... So if I wanted to have 10 pages each containing 3 videos, it should only load those when the more videos button is clicked.

To be clear...  I know how to do this by hiding divs or using tabs... but I need the content to load dynamically.  I can't have 10 pages of 3 videos (or 30 videos) loading at the same time it will slow performance.

THE QUESTION:
How would I code this.  So that when a link is clicked on:
like <a href="javascript: load:videos_4_5_and_6.php inside div:container>MORE VIDEOS</a> would work??

Also I must be able to use PHP files because they are the ones calling on the database.

Thanks so much for the input.
