I've been trying to get my website to do live comments (so the comments appear without refreshing the page) using AJAX with jQuery (the rest of the code being in PHP and HTML). This is the code I have been using, however it doesen't seem to want to work - comments.php is the file which displays the comments, the $comments being variable for the comments.
<script type="text/javascript">
var int=self.setInterval("showComments()",5000);
function showComments(){
$.post( "ajax_comments.php", function( data ) {
$("#comments).html( data );
});
}
</script>
