I have 2 divs in my html page. Using JavaScript, I send my query parameters to a php file, which returns combined results for the 2 divs. I want to know how to separate the result in JavaScript and display in their respective divs. I do not wish to use AJAX, even though I know it can be used.

HTML

<script>
function fetchData() {
  var yr = document.getElementById('entry').value;
  if (yr.length==0) { 
    document.getElementById("result1").innerHTML="";
    document.getElementById("result2").innerHTML="";
	return;
  }

  var xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() 
  {
    if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200) 
	 {
		var content = xmlhttp.responseText;
	if (content == "%<searchword>%")
		document.getElementById("result1").innerHTML = content;
	else		
		document.getElementById("result2").innerHTML = content;	
     }
  }
  xmlhttp.open("GET","db.php?q="+ yr ,true);
  xmlhttp.send(); 
}
</script>



<body>

<form>
Enter year: <input type="text" id="entry" />
<input type="button" value="check here" onclick="fetchData()" />
</form>
<div id="result1">result 1 here</div>
<div id="result2"> result 2 here</div>
</body>

If i were you I would use jQuery..

HTML FILE :

HTML

<html>
<head>
<title></title>

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js" />
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
	$("button").click(function(){
		
		var yr = document.getElementById('entry').value;
		if (yr.length==0) { 
			document.getElementById("result1").innerHTML="";
			document.getElementById("result2").innerHTML="";
			return;
		}
		$.get("db.php?q="+yr,function(data,status){
			if(status=="success")
			{
				var content = data;
				document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = content;
			}
			else
			{
			//ERROR
			}
		});
  });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
 
<form>
Enter year: <input type="text" id="entry" />
<input type="button" value="check here" onclick="fetchData()" />
</form>
<div id="result">RESULTS</div>
</body>
</html>

db.php FILE:

PHP

<?php
$entry=$_GET["entry"];
$result = "";

// DO SOME WORK
$result = '<div id="result1">RESULT FOR RESULT1</div>';
$result .= '<div id="result2">RESULT FOR RESULT1</div>';


echo $result;
?>

If u still have any doubt do ask>>
