Need website help

[legendofphil]

I have been updating my uni web site for my second year.
I decided to add a things bits and pieces such as ajax.
The problem I'm having is that my website works perfectly on my ISP's webspace (windows server) but not my uni space (linux server).
The external files don't show up in the main page when called in.
Can anyone help?

EDIT: Please ignore the design, its a WIP.

Windows is not case sensitive to filenames, Linux is. Maybe that is the problem.

Only if its a problem with variables in javascript, all the file names are lower case.

To start I'd highly recommend a few firefox plugins for web development if you don't already have them:

Firebug
Web Developer

Those really help debugging JS-heavy pages. They're easily found via google.

Using these, we can see the AJAX response:

405 Method Not Allowed

Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /pjevans/temp/test1.html.

Looking at the source of js/ajax.js it seems the default method of sending the XMLHTTP request is via POST (which Apache doesn't seem to like). Try changing line 11 to read:

this.method = "GET";

If that doesn't work, there's probably a setting in Apache that needs to be futzed with. I'm not too familiar with Apache so I can't help you there, but it's a start.

Changing line 11 of the ajax.js worked, thank you so much.
