JQuery Post-Request question - FF doesn't get the result of the referenced php page
- by OlliD
Dear community,
I just want to have my question posted here but just from the beginning:
For a personal web project I use PHP + JQuery.
Now I got stuck when I try to use the ajax posting method to send data to another php-page. I planned to have some navigational elements like next + previous on the bottom of the page by saving the user input / user given data. The code looks as follows:
<div id="bottom_nav">
<div id="prev" class="flt_l"><a href="?&step=<?= $pages[$step-1] ?>">next</a></div>
<div id="next" class="flt_r"><a href="?&step=<?= $pages[$step+1] ?>">previous</a></div>
</div>
The functionality of the page works fine. Lateron, I use the following code to sent data over via POST:
$("#bottom_nav a").click( function() {
alert("POST-Link: Parameter=" + $("#Parameter").val());
$.ajax( {
type:"post",
url:"saveParameter.php",
data:"Parameter=" + $("#Parameter").val(),
success: function(result) {
alert(result);
//$("#test").text(result);
}
});
});
The request itself work perfectly on IE, but on FF I'm not able to get back any result.
within the PHP page, there just written:
<? echo $_POST['Parameter']; ?>
As IE returns the correct value, FF just provide an empty message box. I assumed that the behaviour on the -Link is different. While IE seems to handle the click event after the JS-Code execution, FF will interpret it before.
My question was whether you has a solution on this regarding restructuring the code itself or using another method to reach the intened behaviour.
Thanks for your assistance and recommendations,
Olli
