I've been searching around the last few days looking for an answer but haven't found one. At this point I believe the problem to either be a result of the AJAX, or my actual form. Either way, any help would be appreciated.
So the Ajax I'm using has worked before, when using it on a much simpler form. For that reason, I simply brought it over and adapted it. The only things that I changed are the ID names and file it will load. With that said, it does work - to an extent. If the file being loaded has text, or a basic echo statement, then it will run fine and print as expected on the page.
When I start trying to have it set variables and what not, then it starts having problems. It simple spits out "Ajax failed to run". Ive tried various ways to pull an error message as well but those didn't seem to work either. There may be some small errors here and there because I've been greatly fiddling with the code for a day or two now.
