 Well I  have a DIV that messages display in that is refreshed via ajax every
 5 seconds or so. basically, when someone sends a chat request, it just adds
 a record to a mysql database, then the ajax that refreshes that DIV on my
 page checks the database to see if there are any new chat requests.
 Unfortunately I can't seem to get any type of javascript to work when I call
 it in my PHP script that is being called by AJAX. (basically, the ajax
 loads up a refresh.php that simply checks the database, then echoes a
 message back to the div that says "Chat request incoming from blah blah
 blah). When i try to embedd some javascript into the page to do a quick
 alert("Youve Got Mail") the alert doesnt pop up, even though the rest of the
 script (the php part) executes correctly. If i run the PHP script by itself,
 the alert does pop up. I just dont know  a whole lot about when javascript
 will work and when it won't, i am kind of baffled by the problem. Its just
 weird because it works when i run the update script seperately, but not when
 run as an AJAX call.
