Question

I have a frame.php page

if(isset($_COOKIE['user'])){
// do some stuff
}else{
// login script
}

In a jquery.frame.php page

$("#infm_login_button").live("click",function(){
    $.ajax({
        url: "urltologinformacceptance",
        type:"POST",
        data: $("#login").serialize()
    }).done(function(data){
        //do stuff
    });
    return false;

});

Now in the same frame.php how do I make jquery tell, oh user has been logged in, yes go forward and go into the // do some stuff section. However, I do not want the user to refresh the page. I want it to just change the content from // login script to // do some stuff without refreshing the page, only when the user is logged in. Is there a way to make jquery talk to that frame.php and cookie?

Thanks!

First off: live is deprecated since jQuery 1.4 or something. Use .on() instead.

Secondly, you do not want to ‘do’ something when the ajax-call is done, but when it is a succes. What if there’s a time out? Try this:

                $.ajax({
            type : 'POST',
            url : 'url.php',
            data: $("#login").serialize(),

            success : function(data){
                $(document).html(data);
            }


                });

This will print the output of you url.php to the entire document, sort of like include() in php.
