<body>
<div id="mydiv">
Add some Text or Images if you want to replace dynamically</div>
<a href="Loading.html" onclick="return YUI();">My first AJAX</a>
<script src="build/yahoo/yahoo-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="build/event/event-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="build/connection/connection-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function YUI(){
var loadUrl = "Loading.html";
var callback = {
success: function(o) {
document.getElementById('mydiv').innerHTML = o.responseText;
},
failure: function(o) {
alert("AJAX doesn't work"); //FAILURE
}
}
var transaction = YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest('GET', loadUrl, callback, null);
return false;
}
//]]>
</script>
</body>
</html>

What would be the default value for a Ajax call to get timed out in case of YUI.
I didn’t understand that why we link “demo.html” page in link.
If we remove that “demo.html” path from link, page is not working.
I want load the page only via YUI ajax…
u need to top-up money before you can yui.
