I've got a form checking whether a file exists on the server and if yes it serves it to the user. This all is done via PHP. However, if the file is not found I would like to use jquery for some client side. That's why if the file does not exists then I call echo and the jquery script. The problem is that the jquery does not get executed?
if (isset($_POST['download']))
{
if (file exists)
{
//serve it to the user
}
else
{
//these lines do not get executed. The page simply reloads after post method
echo"<script>
$('#collapseOne').show();
var content = $('#s').val();
$('#p').val(content);
</script>";
}
?>
