Hi all!
I have a page that is using
jQuery tabs. Within one of my tabs I have a div that contains a form (initially hidden) that I want to use to add content to the tab. What I have works perfectly in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. But, in IE 7 the tab will not refresh. The post works and the data gets added to the database, but it simply will not show the new content after submitting it.
I don't think it matters - but, just for information I am using the Codeigniter PHP framework as well.
Here is my javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
// initialize the addChild form as hidden until user requests it open
$('#addChild').hide();
// open the form
$('#openDialog').click( function(){
$('#addChild').slideToggle();
return false;
});
// close the form
$('#closeDialog').click( function(){
$('#addChild').slideToggle();
return false;
});
// submit the form
$('#frmAddChild').submit( function(){
$('#addChild').slideToggle();
$.ajax({
url: '/children/add',
type: 'POST',
data: $('#frmAddChild').serialize()
//cache: false
});
//reload the children tab
$('#tabs').tabs('load',3);
return false;
});
});
</script>
And, here is my PHP/HTML:
<?php
// initialize the elements of the form
$frmAddChild = array(
'name' => 'frmAddChild',
'id' => 'frmAddChild',
'method' => 'post'
);
$child_name = array(
'name' => 'child_name',
'id' => 'child_name',
);
$child_dob = array(
'name' => 'child_dob',
'id' => 'child_dob'
);
$btnOpenDialog = array(
'name' => 'openDialog',
'id' => 'openDialog',
'value' => 'true',
'content' => 'Add Child'
);
$btnCloseDialog = array(
'name' => 'closeDialog',
'id' => 'closeDialog',
'value' => 'true',
'content' => 'Cancel'
);
//
button that shows the drop down to add
echo form_button($btnOpenDialog);
?>
<div id="addChild" title="Add Child">
<?php echo form_open('children/add/',$frmAddChild); ?>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<?php echo form_label('Child\'s Name', 'child_name'); ?>:
</td>
<td>
<?php echo form_input($child_name); ?>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<?php echo form_label('Date of Birth','child_dob'); ?>:
</td>
<td>
<?php echo form_input($child_dob); ?>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="right">
<?php echo form_submit('submit', 'Add'); ?>
<?php echo form_button($btnCloseDialog); ?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php echo form_close(); ?>
</div>
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get this working correctly in IE? Also, if anyone has any comments about how I have things structured, please let me know. I'm new to Codeigniter and I am by no means a javascript or
jQuery expert.
Thanks for your help!
