previous next buttons to load html files in div tag using ajax

Hi guys

I am developing a website using php and ajax. Here I need to to design previous and next buttons to load new html files with every click.

I am displaying these files within a div tag. So everytime the button is clicked only the html source of that div is refreshed and not other.

The names of html files are like page_1, page_2, ________.

I have already developed a function to load the specified html file inside the above said div.

My problem is to know the name of the html file currently displayed so that I can send it with function for previous and next button and retreive the new file name with some php function.

I have tried to give a hidden field with the html file with the name as the name of the current file, but my javascript function does not pick the value of that hidden field (may be because that is only a part of my div and is loaded dynamically through php function)

All you need is a javascript variable that contains the name of the file opened like a mirror.
if you know the first file opened, you can know everyone. Example:

<script>
var n_file = 1; // global variable representing page_1.html file

function next() {
n_file+=1;
file = 'page_' + n_file + ".html";
// here goes the code to open the html in a div tag
}
</script>
<body>
<input type=button onClick="next();">
<--! other html tags-->
</body>

I think this will work.
My problem is exactly how can I open a html file in div tag. Can you tell me?

location.href should have the current url.

Use Ajax to get the response from the server. Then set the div to the response returned.
