Hmm Sometimes it seems harder to think of an appropriate title then solving the original problem...but I digress
I've just lost 6 precious hours of my life, and I ain't got that many left, trying to get an ajax jquery load happening using a drop down select value.
I have got it working fine using a single input field as in the follwing:
Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#sendit").click(function() {
$("#showmember").load("<?php echo site_url(); ?>index.php/users/members",
{
id: postid.value
});
});
});
The view is simply this:
Code:
<form action="<php echo site_url(); ?>/users/members" method="POST">
<input id="postid" name="postid" />
<input type="submit" name="sendit" id="sendit">
</form>
<div id="showmember"></div>
There is an on click = return false in the submit but its not showing in the code here :-S
However, I want my users to select a member from a dynamically generated dropdown. Obviously, I got the drop down working like this:
Code:
echo form_open(<?php $base;?>'users/get_member');
$dropdown = array();
foreach ($members as $list)
{
$dropdown[$list->idmember] = $list->member_lname;}
echo form_dropdown('member_lname', $dropdown);
<input type="submit" name="sendit" id="sendit">
echo form_close();
I've tried a number of ways but I can't seem to post to the controller the value of the selected option.
Any help on this would be much appreciated and maybe I can stop banging my head.
Whoa, hold yer horses!. I stopped banging my head, went to the..., and the redid it and got it working.
Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#sendit").click(function() {
$("#showmember").load("<?php echo site_url(); ?>index.php/message/members",
{
id: $('select option:selected').val()
});
});
I'm pretty sure I did this before but maybe did something wrong - well not maybe
