I am trying to test the jQuery GET method, but what I am getting as result is completely insane. All I am trying to do is call a function from my controller with jQuery and then display the echoed value in a div within my view. Below is my code and finally a breakdown of the problem I am encountering.
Controller
public function generate_suggestions2() {
echo "James";
}
View views\suggestions_v.php
<body>
//This DIV is used a button to call the jQuery function
<div id="next_btn">
<p>Click here to display a name</p>
</div>
//In this div the value retrieved by the jQuery should be displayed
<div id="listB"></div>
//This is the function that calls the function within my controller
<script type="text/javascript">
$( "#next_btn" ).click(function() {
$.get("core/generate_suggestions2/",
function(data) {
$( "#listB" ).html(data);
});
});
</script> //For some reason I need to put the script at the end of the body. When it's in the head nothing happens when I click the button. Also something I do not understand.
</body>
Now the problem is that when I click the DIV next_btn it does NOT display the James in the DIV listB.
Instead it populates the DIV listB with my source code from my main view views\core_v.php
I have no idea how this is even remotely possible, so please if you have a clue or even better you know what I am doing wrong please tell me. I am trying to get this to work for the past three days without any success or progress :(
