I am using jQuery to make an ajax request to a php page. I am using something similiar to the following javascript code:
$.ajax("#putItHere", {
success:"test.php?fish=pope"
});
Please not that this works fine with $("#putItHere").load("test.php?fish=pope"). Can anybody give me a clue as to why this isn't working?
</div>
The correct syntax is:
$.ajax("test.php?fish=pope", {
success: function(result) {
$("#putItHere").html(result);
}
});
$.ajax({
url: "test.php",
data: { fish: 'pope' },
success: function(data){
// do stuff with returned data here
});
I think this is what you want...
