i have created a mysql database, which i would like to access from a web page.
i have created 3 files, a html to display the data, a php file to extract the data, and a javascript file to to the clever stuff.
when i access the html page, all the data is displayed correcty, but if i add or delete any records, and press the button i have created to refresh the data(without reloading), the data doesn't change. can anyone help?
here is my code:

- alert("about to refresh!");
- var mytext = myrequest.responseText;
- document.getElementById('data').innerHTML = mytext;
- //document.write(myrequest.responseText);
- //program executes statements
- }
- else
- {
- //issue an error message for any other response
- alert("an error has occured: " + myrequest.statusText);
- }
- }
- }
as i say, i don't get any actual errors as such, but the data just doesn't refresh properly....my theory is that the php output is somehow getting stuck into the cache....but i don't know much.....
hope someone can help
