<div>
Did it... damn... was tired. NO NEED to separate out file. All contained within one file again. Answer is to specify the reload and the div at the same time. e.g.<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-43298685-1">$("#mydiv").load(location.href + " #mydiv");
</code></pre> I won't delete question as this is the answer for what I needed.

Slight correction... if you do not want to see a nest of 2x MYDIVS.... then I wrapped my div within a submydiv... and did the following: $("#mydiv").load(location.href + " #submydiv"); This then did not duplicate the mydiv... works great R

Hi All, I am changing a Joomla 3.9 view I made to load only parts of DIVs instead of the whole page with JQuery. So I cut up my working view and deleted the "changeable part". Moved the "changeable part" into a separate php file, same web server, same domain. But when I try to $("#loaddivhere").load("components/com_mycomp/views/myview/tmpl/mydiv.php"); I receive a 500 Get error. And I think it might be CORS. The general section of the NETWORK inspector is: <ol><li>Request URL: https://sub.mydomain.com/administrator/components/com_mycomp/views/myview/tmpl/mydiv.php</li><li>Request Method: GET</li><li>Status Code: 500&nbsp;</li><li>Remote Address: 195.195.195.195:443</li><li> Referrer Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin</li></ol> What am I doing wrong that CORS is kicking in.... ? Or maybe it should as it is an external file. My goal is to refresh specific divs (or single div in this test case) so I can have a fluid UX. Please help. Many thanks in advance R

Hi All,
I am changing a Joomla 3.9 view I made to load only parts of DIVs instead of the whole page with JQuery.
So I cut up my working view and deleted the "changeable part".
Moved the "changeable part" into a separate php file, same web server, same domain.
But when I try to $("#loaddivhere").load("components/com_mycomp/views/myview/tmpl/mydiv.php");
I receive a 500 Get error.
And I think it might be CORS.
The general section of the NETWORK inspector is:
Request URL:
https://sub.mydomain.com/administrator/components/com_mycomp/views/myview/tmpl/mydiv.php
Request Method:
GET
Status Code:
500 
Remote Address:

Referrer Policy:

What am I doing wrong that CORS is kicking in.... ? Or maybe it should as it is an external file.

JQuery load php file - 500 - I think it might be CORS

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.

Joomla is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) for publishing web content. It is built on a model–view–controller web application framework that can be used independently of the CMS. Written in PHP, Joomla uses object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques and software design patterns, stores data in a MySQL, MS SQL  or PostgreSQL database, and includes features such as page caching, RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news flashes, blogs, search, and support for language internationalization.
