Update <div> tag doesn't call ‘javascript’ function

[bknowles]

Every minute, I make a call to a database to get the latest latitude and longitude coordinates. These are presented in a table which works fine using AJAX. But, these coordinates should be also displayed on a (google) map by calling a function called “addMarker” (lat, lon).

Somehow, the javascript will not run within the updated DIV tag. Here is the code that is returned by the call to the php file:

CODE


<a>
</a>

DateTime<BR>(UTC)	Speed<BR>(KPH)	Direction<BR>(degrees)	Latitude<BR>(degrees)	Longitude<BR>(degrees)	Status<BR>	Map<BR>
19-01-2006 16:39	0	052.0	52.489396666667	5.4251733333333	PARK	<A>Map</A>

<script>
addMarker(52.489396666667,5.4251733333333);
</script>

All these codes are placed in the DIV tag as referred to in the ‘call handle response’ as shown in the tutorials. I expected that the JavaScript statement is called when the <DIV> tag is updated with the new information as shown above, but it didn’t.

How can I fix this?
