Question

i am using $.post() to call a controllers function from view(though i know its bad practice) and in that function i am loading a view and its not working.

this is HTML code : <li id='files' class="active" >My Files</a></li>

this is JS Code :

$("#files").click(function()
        {
        alert('hi2');  //just for checking

        var loadUrl = "/Fast-Docs/index.php/Docs/updatefiles";


        $.post(  
            loadUrl,  
            {un:"<?php echo $username?>"});  
        });

this is function in controller:

public function updatefiles()
{
    $this->load->model('DocsModel');
    $un=$this->input->post('un');
    $files=$this->DocsModel->getAllFiles($un);  
    $data['files']=$files;
    $this->load->view('files',$data);
}

You need to actually display your code after the ajax call, ie

$.post(  
    loadUrl,  
    {un:"<?php echo $username?>"}  
});

Becomes

$.post(  
    loadUrl,  
    {un:"<?php echo $username?>"},
    function(data) {

        $("#yourDiv").html(data);
    }
});
