Working with jQuery and PHP/MySQL tables

Question

I have a table created with PHP/MySQL results, http://www.fsma.co.uk/help/table.jpg.

When the user clicks the resend confirmation button, I have a jQuery script that runs a PHP script to send the email to that customer.

What I need is for that button to then change to text and give the returned mesage from the PHPscript, or for a new row to be added underneath to show the returned message.

I had it working, but no matter which button you clicked it used the same row. However, due to playing around with so many ideas, I no longer have that code.

Use the jQuery.post function: api.jquery.com/jQuery.post The functions callback is the echoed content from your php function. — Chris

Something like that:

$(".buttonClass").click(function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    $.post(url, data, function(response) {
        // hide the clicked button
        $(this).hide(); 

        // insert content from the called php function after the button
        $(this).after(response);
    });
});

Your php function has to echo the content you want to display instead of the button.

I've updated my answer. eventPrevault() will prevent the default action to happen.

add "return false;" before the last closing });

Does the jQuery.click() get triggered? What if you put an alert('test'); directly above the event.preventDefault()
