I'm using jah (http://microformats.org/wiki/rest/ahah) to load URLs inline
dynamically. The perl script looks like this:

my $ajaxcall="jah('myotherscript.cgi?myarg=arg', 'contentdiv')";
if (param('myparam')){
  print "<script type=\"text/javascript\">$ajaxcall</script>\n";

}else{
  print a({href=>"javascript:$ajaxcall"}, 'click to load');
}
print "<div id='contentdiv'></div>\n";

The goal is to have the content loaded inline automatically if the
'myparam' is passed in the query string and make it loadable inline by
clicking the link.

I'm getting the following errors:

document.getElementById(target) has no properties

and

href has no properties

These are both coming from the ahah code. What I dont get is what is
special about the click. Either way it's accessing the document object so
it's not like the click is providing an object.

Any ideas?

yes. That was a cut and paste error between the code and my newsreader.
