well, I ll be more specific, here is the code part ** $("#image_overlay_group_form").ajaxForm({ success: function(msg) { var downLat = $("#image_overlay_sw_lat").val(); var downLon = $("#image_overlay_sw_lng").val(); var upLat = $("#image_overlay_ne_lat").val(); var upLon = $("#image_overlay_ne_lng").val(); var fileName = $("#image_overlay_file").val(); alert("rs image filename: " + fileName + " , " + upLon + ", "+ downLat); // --> this has empty values!!
$("#" + project_name + "_" + layer_name +"_"+ group_name+ "_new_legend_feature_entry_point").after(msg); }, resetForm: true // Reset the form after a successful AJAX call }); ** my guess is that the form inputs are emptied somehow and thus no values are available...but in some other ajaxForms i have, i use the same technique and it works.. I ll keep trying but any suggestions are much appreciated! On Oct 30, 7:29 pm, James <james.gp....@gmail.com> wrote: > The .val() should work.
