Question

I am currently coding something to check my database to check for duplicate errors. It is a form and I am having the following function check for duplicate values using jQuery.get.

function makeAjaxRequest() {    $('label#bad_error').hide();    $('label#good_error').hide();    $('label#checkingdb_error').show();     $.get(url,{sheetnum: '$('input#sheetnum').val()'},verifyDb); }  function verifyDb(response) {     if (response==1)     {    $('label#checkingdb_error').hide();    $('label#bad_error').show();     }      else     {    $('label#checkingdb_error').hide();    $('label#good_error').show();     } } 

I am having it do this onBlur of a text field. My php file is as follows:

<?  $sheetnum = $_GET['sheetnum'];  if($sheetnum == '1234'){ echo '1'; }  ?> 

I used ‘1234’ instead of the mysql string for now, just to test that the javascript side of it is working.

When I type 1234 in the text box it returns that there are no errors (the good_error label). Am I putting the value wrong in the .get string? Please help.

Answer 1

I believe

$.get(url,{sheetnum: '$('input#sheetnum').val()'},verifyDb); 

should be

$.get(url,{sheetnum: $('input#sheetnum').val()},verifyDb);
