I have a php page, Post.php it recieves the POST's Action, and that has two functions. Insert, and Update.Now how would I go about posting INSERT with this Ajax code. The code posts update fine but is doesnt post insert at all.
$(document).ready(function(){ //global vars var inputUser = $("#nick"); var inputMessage = $("#message"); var loading = $("#loading"); var messageList = $(".content > ul"); //functions function updateShoutbox(){ //just for the fade effect messageList.hide(); loading.fadeIn(); //send the post to shoutbox.php $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "Shoutbox.php", data: "action=update", complete: function(data){ loading.fadeOut(); messageList.html(data.responseText); messageList.fadeIn(2000); } }); } //check if all fields are filled function checkForm(){ if(inputUser.attr("value") && inputMessage.attr("value")) return true; else return false; }
//Load for the first time the shoutbox data updateShoutbox();
//on submit event $("#form").submit(function(){ if(checkForm()){ var nick = inputUser.attr("value"); var message = inputMessage.attr("value"); //we deactivate submit button while sending $("#send").attr({ disabled:true, value:"Sending..." }); $("#send").blur(); //send the post to shoutbox.php $.ajax({ type: "GET", url: "Shoutbox.php", data: "action=insert&nick=" + nick + "&message=" + message, complete: function(data){ messageList.html(data.responseText); updateShoutbox(); //reactivate the send button $("#send").attr({ disabled:false, value:"Shout it!" }); } }); } else alert("Please fill all fields!"); //we prevent the refresh of the page after submitting the form return false; }); });emphasized text
