Answer 1

You'll need an AJAX call, something like this after including your jQuery libraries.

$(document).ready(function() {

//false click action
$("a.false").click(function () { 

//ajax server call
$.ajax({
  url: '/useradminpage?main_id=%s&display=false',
  success: function(data) {
    //do some stuff.
    alert('returned');
  }
});

});



});

Answer 2

You cannot update a server database with JQuery. All you can do is send a request that is handled by the server.

Use JQuery.Ajax or any spin-offs of that function to send the request. To your server it will look as a regular request.
