copied!<p>You cannot 'reload a div'. A <code>div</code> is just a single element on an entire webpage, and on its own it has no URL it was loaded from, so it cannot be reloaded. You can set/replace the contents of a div with an Ajax call, but that's definitely not 'reloading' - you'd need to explicitly define the URL to load its new content from.</p> <p>If you want to explicitly replace a <code>div</code>'s contents by loading it from a remote URL, you should use <a href="http://mootools.net/docs/core/Request/Request.HTML" rel="nofollow"><code>Request.HTML</code></a> instead of <code>Request.JSON</code>, and supply the element (or its ID) as the <code>update</code> parameter:</p> <blockquote> <ul> <li>update - (element: defaults to null) The Element to insert the response text of the Request into upon completion of the request.</li> </ul> </blockquote> <p>If you are just looking to replace the contents of an element without remote loading, you can simply do:</p> <pre><code>$('id-of-div').set('text', 'Text to be placed inside the element'); </code></pre> <p>Or:</p> <pre><code>$('id-of-div').set('html', '<p>HTML ending up <em>inside</em> the div</p>'); </code></pre> <p>Or build an entire subtree as you did with the <code>new Element</code> call already.</p> <p>As for the secondary question: <code>location.reload()</code> is just shorthand for <code>window.location.reload()</code> so yes, it will reload the entire page (or frame). It can because a window or frame actually <strong>has</strong> a location it was loaded from.</p>
