I have this link:
<a id='delete' href='/add/delete.php?iid=XXXXX'>#</a>
And I want to pass it on through Jquery so the page doesn't refresh. However, I'm having a difficult time making that happen. All of the click events and ajax I've tried with Jquery have been unsuccessful.
Basically, I want the ajax to send delete.php the value in the iid parameter.
Here try this the href='1' is the id you want to delete, also to replace the text it finds the id="d1":
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
$(".delete").click(function(e){
var del_id = $(this).attr('href');
e.preventDefault();
$.post("/add/delete.php", { iid: del_id } ,function(data){
//change the link to deleted
$('#d'+del_id).replaceWith('<a href="#">Deleted</a>');
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a class='delete' id="d1" href='1'>Delete</a>
<a class='delete' id="d2" href='2'>Delete</a>
<a class='delete' id="d3" href='3'>Delete</a>
<a class='delete' id="d4" href='4'>Delete</a>
</body>
</html>
$(function(){
$("#delete").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$.post("../add/delete.php", { iid: "xxx" } ,function(data){
//do whatever with the result which is in the variable data.
alert(data)
});
});
});
Since it is a delete, use POST. Otherwise some crawlers will crawl your delete page and you will see your tables are empty one fine morning.
EDIT : You can associate the value to be passed with the anchor tag in someway. Ex :Change your id tag to be in this format del-YouIdTobe deleted ( Ex : del-1,del-2 etc..)
<a id='delete' href='#' id="del-1>Delte 1 </a>
<a id='delete' href='#' id="del-2>Delte 2 </a>
<a id='delete' href='#' id="del-3>Delte 3 </a>
Script
$(function(){
$("#delete").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var val=$(this).attr("id").split("-")[0];
$.post("../add/delete.php", { iid: val } ,function(data){
//do whatever with the result which is in the variable data.
alert(data)
});
});
});
