this is my server-side code:
modify_emp.php
<?php
echo $_POST[id];
?>
And this is my Javascript in my html page:
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
var alreadyClicked = false;
$('.element').hover(
//mouseenter function
function(){
$('.element').click(
function(){
$(this).css("color","blue");
var objName = $(this).attr('name');
var objColumn = $(this).attr('id');
if(!alreadyClicked){
alreadyClicked = true;
$(this)
.prepend('<form method="POST" class="newInput"><input type="text" name="newInput" style="width:140px"></input></form>');
var elemento = $(".newInput");
var position = elemento.position();
$(".newInput").css({
'position': 'absolute',
'top': position.top + 15,
'opacity':0.9,
'z-index':5000,
})
.focus();
//on enter keypress
$(document).keypress(function(e) {
if(e.which == 13) {
$.ajax({
url: 'modify_imp.php',
type: 'post',
data: { id : objName, column : objColumn },
success: function(data, status){
$("#debug").html(data);
}
});
}
});
} //if (!alreadyClicked) end
}); //end mouseenter function
},
//mouseleave function
function () {
alreadyClicked = false;
$(this).css("color","red");
$(".newInput").remove();
}
); //end .hover
});
The debug is a <div id="debug"> </div> at the end of my html page where i want to show my response from server. When i press 'ENTER' I can actually see the value for 0.1s inside that div, but then it disappears.
I already tried to pass the return value to a local or global variable but it didn't work.
For some reason the value inside response is lost after 0.1s, even if i pass it to another variable elsewhere.
Can someone explain me why and how can i "store" the server response?
EDIT: Just edited with my entire <script>
