refreshing specific div using AJAX

I'm totally new to AJAX, so I'm sorry if the question turned out to be too stupid or anything.

Alright then, here goes...

assuming that http://example.com/index.php file have the following content:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>Ajax Test</title>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<!-- Other contents which don't need to change -->

<a class="puke" href="#">Button</a>

<div class="rainbow"><?php echo mt_rand(0,100); ?></div>

<!-- Other contents which don't need to change -->

</BODY>
</HTML>

I want to make it so that whenever a.puke is clicked, only the content of div.rainbow will get refreshed.

How can I achieve such result?

thank you.

Since your are new to AJAX, here is the code example for ajax and php- ajax php . Refer this link

       $.ajax({
          url: "http://example.com/index.php", 
          type: "GET",        
          cache: false,
          success: function(data){                          
              $("div.rainbow").html(data);                   
          }

you can use .responseText

document.getElementsByClassName("puke").onclick = updateDiv();

function updateDiv() {

    upd=new XMLHttpRequest();
    upd.open("GET","test.php?action=something" ,  false);
    upd.send();
    console.log(upd.responseText);
    document.getElementsByClassName("rainbow").innerHTML=upd.responseText;
}

this is how you get contents of test.php?action=something and put it to 

div.rainbow
