MyDisk.co.uk now uses Ajax

Ajax on MyDisk.co.uk
After experimenting with Ajax and seeing exactly what it can do, I have upgraded MyDisk.co.uk to utilise Ajax to refresh the active hosts list and automatically test and forward users on to their destinations.

This is a much more powerful solution compared to the previous technique of refreshing the whole page and relying on nph-connect.cgi on hostyourself.net to forward the user on to their destination. I have developed simple cross browser Javascript function, rewriteID(targetID, strURL), for modifying between a div id tag with the response of a http request.

Before I am corrected, MyDisk.co.uk now uses Asynchronous JavaScript for updating. I removed XML from the equation because it was an unnecessary overhead in generating and parsing. Now what the HostYourself.net server returns is either executed (if prefixed with JavaScript:) or displayed on part of the page.
