I'm a real noob at AJAX and so I was wondering how I could make my comment numbers auto update using jquery and AJAX in Wordpress. Thanks for your help. Heres my jquery:
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
setInterval( "countnumbers();", 2000);
countnumbers = function(){
$('cite.commentcount').each(function(){
$(this).load('<?php get_permalink(); ?>, <?php echo get_comments_number(); ?>');
});
} // End countnumbers function
});
</script>
Heres my PHP:
<a href="<?php the_syndication_permalink();?>" target="_blank" class="readstory"></a>
<?php if(!is_single()) : ?>
<cite class="commentcount"><?php comments_number('0', '1', '%'); ?></cite>
<a href="<?php the_permalink();?>" class="comments"></a>
<?php endif; ?>
