On my main page, I have a simple dropdown box:
<select name="miles" id="miles">
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="10">10</option>
<option value="15">15</option>
<option value="25">25</option>
<option value="50">50</option>
<option value="75">75</option>
<option value="100">100</option>
</select>
<button type="button" name="button" id="button">Search</button>
When this button is clicked, it performs a JQuery $.load:
$("#miles").load("main_data.php #miles_data");
And here the page button is calling, main_data.php:
<?php
... code to calculate $b
?>
<span id="miles_data">
<option value="5" <?php if ($b == 5) { echo "selected"; } ?>>5</option>
<option value="10" <?php if ($b == 10) { echo "selected"; } ?>>10</option>
<option value="15" <?php if ($b == 15) { echo "selected"; } ?>>15</option>
<option value="25" <?php if ($b == 25) { echo "selected"; } ?>>25</option>
<option value="50" <?php if ($b == 50) { echo "selected"; } ?>>50</option>
<option value="75" <?php if ($b == 75) { echo "selected"; } ?>>75</option>
<option value="100" <?php if ($b == 100) { echo "selected"; } ?>>100</option>
</span>
My goals seem simple: Execute a $.load to another page, calculate an integer and set it to a variable, select the matching dropdown item and return it to the main page.
With my code above, the dropdown box on the main page becomes blank. Does anyone notice a solution?
