I'm using jQuery's .ajax() to post to a PHP file called process.php. Process.php has a lot of code in it, but for simplicity's sake, let's just say it contains <?php echo 'hello'; ?>
.
Is this the proper jQuery to insert process.php's results into div.results
? :
$.get('process.php', function(data) {
$('.results').html(data);
});
So far it doesn't seem to be working.
Here's the HTML/Javascript file
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("form#form").submit(function() {
var username = $('#username').attr('value');
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'process.php',
data: 'username=' + username,
success: function() {
$('form#form').hide(function() {
$.get('process.php', function(data) {
$('.results').html(data);
});
});
}
});
return false;
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body id="body">
<form id="form" method="post">
<p>Your username: <input type="text" value="" name="username" id="username" /></p>
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<div class="results"></div>
</body>
</html>
Here's process.php
(greatly simplified):
<?php
/* get info from ajax post */
$username = htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['username']));
echo $username;
?>
