I have a ajax query which keeps reloading a div of the page in every 6 seconds.
There is a action button in that reloading div which opens a modal.
The problem is whenever page reloads the modal also refreshes. And i have to send some information through that modal but i am not able to fill up the modal as the page keeps refreshing every 6 seconds
I couldn't find a solution for that.
The files are as shown below. file1.php calls file2.php which has a table with dynamic values(i have made them static just for SO.)
P.S.: I am also looking to implement a notification system but can't figure out a way to do that. If anyone could help.
EDIT
I want the div to reload every 6 seconds but not the modal
