ok i am trying to make an items box using ajax and then loading the items from a db i am a little confused about how to do this, something like this...

function loadItems()
{

	if(document.getElementById("itemBox").style.display == "block")
	{
		document.getElementById("itemBox").style.display = "none";
		
	}
	else
	{
		document.getElementById("itemBox").style.display = "block";
	//i should call something here and am lost as to what to call to get the items from lets say loaditems.php
	}
	return false;
}

then i imagine i need to call my php file that is loading my items from the db or something i am a little confused any help would be appreciated

Look at your code again....

Your asking the js if your "itemBox" is double equivalent to block, if it is then you don't want to display it, if it isn't, then you want to dispay it? It cancels it out. the first if statement. I may be missing something.

It's kind of like a show/hide switch. I'm assuming that when the button is pressed a second time it would hide the box, whereas the first call to the function would show the box and load the items.
