Question

I save the data using POST method from a form.
After the data has been saved, page reloaded, I want to show a hidden div in the page.

onsubmit="showHide(this); return false;" 

shows the specified div but does not save data.

any ideas?

LE:

to make it more complicated: the form that trigges the page reload is on the div that i want to re-show. initialy i make the div visible with:

<a class="articleLink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick='$("#ModAdd<?php echo $rrows['id_']; ?>").show("slow");'></a>

Answer 1

You have to display the div after the reload.
onsubmit will display it right away (on the same page). So check if the $_POST is set in php after reloading the site and then display the div

Example

<?php
if (isset($_POST)):
?>
    <div>Saved successfully</div>
<?php
endif;
?>
