Hello,
After reading lots about jQuery on a number of CF blogs/lists, I've
finally got a project that I think warrants me jumping into it. I've
only started going through the docs, etc a few hours ago, so I'm sure
I'm overlooking something somewhere, but I have seen so many people
brag about the wonderful community that is jQuery, and figured I'd
give it a whirl.
I am trying to create a simple ajax call. I've tried a number of code
combinations, but the only version I can get to "work" (e.g. load the
file) is this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("//[EMAIL PROTECTED]//a").click(
function() {
$("#stand-summary").load("myfile.htm")
return false
}
);
});
In theory, I could write a number of blocks like this - one for each
page I want to load - but that would pretty much defeat the purpose of
using jQuery. So, there are two things that I'm trying to solve here:
1) Dynamically get at the href attribute's value, and
2) Figure out how to properly use the $.ajax() method
I have tried this code, which appears to be correct, based upon my
obviously limited knowledge of jQuery, but does not provide the
desired result. It throws no errors in FireBug, but produces an empty
string as the result...
$(document).ready(function() {
$("//[EMAIL PROTECTED]//a").click(
function() {
var stuff = $.ajax({
url: "myfile.htm"
}).responseText
$("#stand-summary").load(stuff)
return false
}
);
});
Any tips/pointers as to what I'm doing wrong would be tremendously
appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
