I have tried to use AJAX, but nothing I come up with seems to work correctly. I am creating a menu editor. I echo part of a file using php and manipulate it using javascript/jquery/ajax (I found the code for that here: http://www.prodevtips.com/2010/03/07/jquery-drag-and-drop-to-sort-tree/). Now I need to get the edited contents of the div (which has an unordered list in it) I am echoing and save it to a variable so I can write it to the file again. I couldn't get that resource's code to work so I'm trying to come up with another solution.
If there is a code I can put into the $("#save").click(function(){ });
part of the javascript file, that would work, but the .post
doesn't seem to want to work for me. If there is a way to initiate a php preg_match
in an onclick, that would be the easiest.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
