Well here\'s what I got, basically a button is clicked and the following code is executed:
Readthis = \"MonsterRequest.php?id=
Are you familiar with AJAX? Forgive me if you know this already, but in case you don't:
Ajax posts data to an external php file, which processes the data it receives, and sends back an answer. It looks like this:
FILE #1:
<html>
<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#Sel').change(function() {
var opt = $(this).val();
var someelse = 'Hello';
var more_stuff = 'Goodbye';
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "receiving_file.php",
data: 'selected_opt=' + opt + '&something_else=' +someelse+'&more_stuff='+more_stuff,
success:function(data){
alert('This was sent back: ' + data);
}
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<select id = "Sel">
<option value ="Song1">default value</option>
<option value ="Song2">Break on through</option>
<option value ="Song3">Time</option>
<option value ="Song4">Money</option>
<option value="Song5">Saucerful of Secrets</option>
</select>
FILE #2: receiving_file.php
<?php
$recd = $_POST['selected_opt'];
echo 'You chose: ' . $recd;
I basically want to post data without having the page reloaded
Use jQuery's $.post(...)
Cheers
