Question

$(document).ready(function(){ 
 $("form#fbox").submit(function(){ 
 var msg = $("input#ibox").val(); 
 $.get("foo.php", {m: msg}, function(data){
   $('#display').html(data);
 });
 return false; 
 });
});

i have this jquery script wherein it creates a post request “invisibly” after submitting the form. thus not refreshing the page. the problem is how can i get the response of the foo.php or rather what will i put in foo.php to give back a response?

for example i inputted ‘hello’, how can i display ‘hi’ on #display? something like that xD

Answer 1

You would have foo.php echo whatever content you want to go inside the element that corresponds to #display — no more, no less. So this would work:

echo 'hi';
