I have a list in my site, and when I click each of the list items, I want the div next to them to reload with ajax, so as not to reload the whole page.
Here is my javascript
parameters = "category_id="+categoryId;
var result = ajaxFunction("changeCategory.php", parameters);
$("#mydiv").html(result);
The ajaxFunction() function is the regular $.ajax() jQuery function, with "POST". In the "changeCategory.php" I call with include another php file. The problem is that the whole page is reloaded instead of only the div. I want to use this ajax function I have, cause I want to send data to my php file.
Does anyone know what should I do to reload only the div?
Thanks in advance
Try using load to load the div with the url contents -
$("#mydiv").load("changeCategory.php", {category_id: "category_id_value"} );
You can pass data to the url.
The POST method is used if data is provided as an object; otherwise, GET is assumed.
Try this
$(document).ready(function(){
var parameters = {category_id:categoryId};
$.ajax({
url:'changeCategory.php',
type:'post',
data:parameters,
dataType:'html',
success:function(result){
$("#mydiv").html(result);
},
error:function(){
alert('Error in loading [itemid]...');
}
});
});
Also verify that when in your click event this line is written or not return false;
This is required.
you could send a query to that PHP so it "understands" that it needs to output only the div, like this:
in your javascript:
//add the query here
parameters = "category_id="+categoryId + "&type=divonly";
var result = ajaxFunction("changeCategory.php", parameters);
$("#mydiv").html(result);
in your "changeCategory.php":
//add a query check:
$type = "";
if (isset($_POST['type'])) {
$type = $_POST['type'];
}
//then, depending on the type, output only the div:
if($type === "divonly"){
//output the div only;
} else {
//your normal page
}
The whole page is reloaded that means there may be an error in your javascript code
check it again or try this one
function name_of_your_function(id)
{
var html = $.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "ajax_main_sectors.php",
data: "sec="+id,
async: false
}).responseText;
document.getElementById("your div id").innerHTML=html;
}
you can use get method or post method....
$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajax({
url: "right.php",
type: "POST",
data: {},
cache: false,
success: function (response) {
$('#right_description').html(response);
}
});
});
