Question

I have a simple login form and it does return the “success” text in the function, but now I want to be able to add the text provided in the .php file. How can I do this?

html

 <script>
  $(function(){
      $("#submitlogin").click(function() {


        inputs = {
            "logInUsername" : $('input[name=logInUsername]').val(),
            "logInPassword" : $('input[name=logInPassword]').val()
        };
        // since this is a username and password combo you will probably want to use $.post
        $.ajax ({
            type: "POST",           
            url: "loggnow.php",
            data: inputs,
            success: function() {
                $("#login").html("You are now logged in!");
            },
            error : function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
                alert("error " + textStatus + ": " + errorThrown);
            }
        });
      });
      });

    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",           
        url: "loggnow.php",
        data: inputs,
        dataType: "html",
        success: function (data) {
            $("#login").html(data);
        },
        error : function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
            alert("error " + textStatus + ": " + errorThrown);
        }
    });
