AJAX help wanted

First, load jQuery in the head section of your view.
Then, before the </body> closing tag, have this piece of code:

Code:

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    var url = "<?= site_url();?>controller/method";
    $.get( url, { p1: val1, p2 : val2 })
    .done(function(data) {
            //handle the returned data here
    });    
});
</script>

In the controller, use $this->input->get('p1') to read the value of p1.
Let the controller method echo the data that you need back in the view.

Many thanks for the suggestion. 

The following day I tried the AJAX call again and it worked for some weird reason! The previous day I had checked the filename and path, also tried renaming the file and using a different path, checked log files, file permissions, htaccess file, etc, etc, etc  and all to no avail.
