The normal way to do this would be to write some JavaScript that 
performs an XMLHttpRequest to the LiveCode server script, and then sets 
the innerHTML of the <div> element.

Don't forget that JavaScript runs on the client, and LiveCode runs on 
the server.  There are things you can do in a LiveCode server script 
that you can't in JavaScript, and vice versa.
