Thanks for taking your time. Yes the click-handler works. I controll this by outputting the storeID.
jQuery('#storeListTable tr').click(function() { var storeID = this.cells[0].innerHTML; alert(storeID); // storeID for clicked row is aoutputed. jQuery.post("../get_storeData.php", { sID: storeID }, function(data){ alert(data.name); }, "json"); }); WOHO. Alright. SOMETHING is happening. I removed my function so that I only have my PHP code in the new file I call get_storeData.php. Now the get_storeData.php file looks like this: <?php include_once('dal.php'); $storeID = "9";//$_GET["storeID"]; $sl = new storeLocator(); $result = $sl->getStoreData($storeID); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $arr[] = $row; } $storeData = json_encode($arr); echo $storeData; ?> Clicking a row now, gives me an alert, but it's 'Undefined'. If I change "alert(data.name);" to "alert(data);", I get the following output: "[object Object]". I'm soooo close now. What am I missing? Ps. If I change "(...) "json");" to "(...) "text");" and only have echo "TEST" in my php file, the "TEST" will be aouputed in the alert. Steven On 16 Apr, 14:35, Josch <jluelsd...@googlemail.com> wrote: > 1.
