how can i replace ajax id with a variable?

Hi can i put the ajax div into a variable

or instead of using get element by id can i use get element by $film

the reason i want to do that is that have the 3 files the ajax function, the query file, and the display page

now the display page display the ajax function using the (document.getElementById('ajaxFilmLink') so on the display page i have a div=ajaxFilmLink. this returns the value fine but my problem now is that instead of a div=ajaxFilmLink i want a variable that works just like the div=ajaxFilmLink

because i need to store those values on jwplayer which usualy would be like this

 'file': '<?php echo $efilm; ?>',

i tried

 'file': '<?php echo div=ajaxFilmLink ; ?>',

but that doesnt work is there a way i can grab that ajax div value and store on a variable $efilm so that i can echo anywhere i want?

my files 3 files are the follwings

ajax file

var ajaxRequest10;
                // The variable that makes Ajax possible!              
        try
        {// Opera 8.0+, Firefox, Safari        
           ajaxRequest10 = new XMLHttpRequest();
        }
           catch (e)
        {// Internet Explorer Browsers         
                try
        {
                ajaxRequest10 = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
        }
           catch (e)
        {
                try
        {
                ajaxRequest10 = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
        }
           catch (e)
        {// Something went wrong                               
           alert("Your browser broke!");
        return false;
  }    
}
}      
                // ********** DATA 10 ********** FILM LINK     
                // Create a function that will receive data sent from the server       
ajaxRequest10.onreadystatechange = function()
        {
                if(ajaxRequest10.readyState == 4)
                 {     
                        var ajaxDisplay10 = document.getElementById('ajaxFilmLink');
                        ajaxDisplay10.innerHTML = ajaxRequest10.responseText;
                }
        }      
                // var fid = document.getElementById('fid').value;     
var queryString10 = "?fid=" + fid;      ajaxRequest10.open("GET", "../jrp/setfilmlink.php" + queryString10, true);      ajaxRequest10.send(null);

queryfile named (setfilmlink.php)

<?php
include("../../includes/config.php");
mysql_connect($db_address, $db_username, $db_password);mysql_select_db($db_name) or die(mysql_error());
$fid = $_GET['fid'];   
$fid = mysql_real_escape_string($fid);
$query10 = "SELECT * FROM films WHERE (film_id = '$fid')";     
$qry_result10 = mysql_query($query10) or die(mysql_error());
while($row10 = mysql_fetch_array($qry_result10))       
{       $urlfid="http://www.onfilm.biz/streaming/home/".$row10['client']."/".$row10['client_office']."/".$row10['filename'].".mp4";?>          
<a class="hofwhite14" href="#" onclick="loadNplay('<?php echo $urlfid; ?>')"><u></u>Property Film</u></a>
<?php   }mysql_close();
//EDIT 290510
?>

and the display page is named (indextest.php)

<div id="ajaxFilmLink">
</div>

the main reason i want to change is because when i simple try to put the query page on the indextest.php page the query doesnt retrieve the data from the database

so can i put the ajax div into a variable

or instead of using get element by id can i use get element by $film

I think you want to know if the ajax return can be placed in a variable and not displayed.

And you want to use that in a php code ===> 'file': '<?php echo $efilm; ?>',

'file': '<?php echo $efilm; ?>',  is PHP and can't be done on the page, it's done on the server.  You couldn't do it in the browser any way shape or form.
