Can't seem to get scriptalicious AJAX Request to work

[spargos]

I'm having significant trouble getting the scriptalicious or dojo toolkits to work for me. For instance I'm trying to implement a simple blinddown in my page. If I were to do this:

<div id="listDiv" onclick="new Effect.BlindDown(this)">Show My Hidden Data</div>

it will work.

However if I try to move the effect like so:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
window.onload=function() {
document.getElementById("list").onclick = function(){new Effect.BlindDown(document.getElementById("listDiv" ));}
}
</script>

nada. Nothing happens. I am very confused and if anyone can help i would be much obliged!

Sorry The non working code is like this:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
window.onload=function() {
document.getElementById("listDiv").onclick = function(){new Effect.BlindDown(document.getElementById("listDiv" ));}
}
</script>

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
window.onload=function() {
$("list").onclick = function () {
new Ajax.Request('/servlet/ListAndDeleteBlogAjax?action=list', {method: 'get', onsucess: function(transport){$("listDiv").update(transport. responseText)}});
}
</script>

This doesn't seem to be able to do anything.

Am I using the Ajax.Request statement wrong?

Heya, spargos.

Is your code generating an error, or is it just not working?

You don't need to wait until window.onload if you know when $('list') exists. You can call that code (or include the file) at the bottom of your page (or at least, anywhere after you define the element whose ID is 'list', though some versions of Internet Explorer will generate a bizarre error if you try to include it before the very end of your body).
