My first contact with Ajax is happening right now, and I'm kind a confused. I've read many of questions asked, but I'm not able to read the answer, that is most likely here somewhere.
Situation is, I'm using OOP PHP approach, and all I do go through index.php with parameters. So I do not call any other .php file in form posts, button clicks..
I've created an HTML listbox (which I'd like to remove vertical scrollbar, but that's just a bonus to resolve), which feeds my categories in it.
Now, by clicking each category I'd like to call certain function that would then generate output for the other div.
function swapContent(){
$("#myPresentDiv").html('<img src="../../imgs/ajax-loader-big.gif"/>').show();
var cat = $('#listbox').val();
$("#action").change(alert(cat));
var url = "&s=".cat;
$.post(url, {contentVar: cat} ,function(data) {
$("#myPresentDiv").html(data).show();
});
}
So, my JQuery script picks up correct Category, I alert it to alert dialog, so I'm sure that's fine, and then with code as it is at the moment, I reload my whole page so I get, page in page in page in page...
I'm trying to figure out how to write JQ ajax call, that would return only the results, not the whole page.
can I put URL "index.php&s="cat, and then somehow tell to ajax "go through index, call function displayresults ($cat); ?
Hope everything I wrote make sense to you :)
Tnx.
