Can't use the ajax load method to access CI controller? or...

[eluser]gusst250[/eluser]
I've tried many ways and searched through many forums, but I found no answer to this, rather simple, problem.

In javascript (JQuery) I want to do the ajax-requet "load(...)".

Code:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#addNewFile").click(function(){
        $('#loadDiv').load( some_path );
    });
});

I googled to here 5 ways to make ajax calls with JQuery and decided that option #1 would suit for me.

What is the path to a: controller/method to put in my load("path")?`

(The js-file is in a sub-directory to application)

simply pass the path to your controller, something like:

Code:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#addNewFile").click(function(){
        $('#loadDiv').load('your-controller/method');
    });
});

no doesn't work

i tried

load('<?=base_url()?>controller/method');
load('<?=base_url()?>application/controllers/controller/method');

too.

(just for knowing that $("#addNewFile").click(...) works I added an alert there, and it popped up on the click, removed it now though)

Are you sure the controller path is correct? Can you view the controller page by opening it in the browser directly?

[eluser]gusst250[/eluser]
Yes i can view it directly in browser.

One important thing to note here is that: it's not the same controller as loaded the actual view file.

I want one controller for all file uploading stuff, and not having a hundred of functions in just one controller

Try this and post the result:

Code:

url='<?=base_url()?>controller/method');//path to your controller

$('#loadDiv').load(url, "",
function(responseText, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) {
     if(textStatus == 'error') {
          alert('AJAX request failed:'+ url);
     }
     else{
          alert('worked!');
     }
}
);

Also try and post the result:

Code:

url='paste the complete url that worked from the browser here';//e.g. http://localhost/website/controller/method

$('#loadDiv').load(url, "",
function(responseText, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) {
     if(textStatus == 'error') {
          alert('AJAX request failed:'+ url);
     }
     else{
          alert('worked!');
     }
}
);
