This is the script.

var reqTopCont;
var reqBotCont;

function changeTopContent(newUrl)
{
reqTopCont = false;
// branch for native XMLHttpRequest object
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
try {
reqTopCont = new XMLHttpRequest();
} catch(e) {
reqTopCont = false;
}
// branch for IE/Windows ActiveX version
} else if(window.ActiveXObject) {
try {
reqTopCont = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e) {
try {
reqTopCont = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e) {
reqTopCont = false;
}
}
}
if (reqTopCont) {
reqTopCont.onreadystatechange = reqTopContUpdate;
reqTopCont.open("GET", newUrl, true);
reqTopCont.send("");
}
}

function changeBottomContent(newUrl)
{
reqBotCont = false;
// branch for native XMLHttpRequest object
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
try {
reqBotCont = new XMLHttpRequest();
} catch(e) {
reqBotCont = false;
}
// branch for IE/Windows ActiveX version
} else if(window.ActiveXObject) {
try {
reqBotCont = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e) {
try {
reqBotCont = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e) {
reqBotCont = false;
}
}
}
if (reqBotCont) {
reqBotCont.onreadystatechange = reqBotContUpdate;
reqBotCont.open("GET", newUrl, true);
reqBotCont.send("");
}
}

function reqTopContUpdate()
{
if (reqTopCont.readyState == 4 && reqTopCont.status == 200) {
alert (reqTopCont.responseText);
document.getElementById("topContent").innerHTML =
reqTopCont.responseText;
}
}

function reqBotContUpdate()
{
if (reqBotCont.readyState == 4 && reqBotCont.status == 200)
document.getElementById("bottomContent").innerHTML =

}

Your message should make sense in its own right, don't rely on others
being able to remember or view the subject at the same time as reading
the message.

This is the script.

You may find it easier to use an AJAX library:

What about it? You have 4 functions, with no call to any of them, what
did you leave out?

You may want to read the group FAQ with regards to the XMLHTTPRequest
object, in the page that is linked to from the FAQ. And then, don't
assume that readers can see the Subject line, and you may want to
include the HTML that goes with the script.
