Question

I want to load data from the database when i click on an a link.
My links are data from a database. This is how I do it in my view:

<div id="wijken">
              <ul>
            <?php foreach($this->districts as $districts) : ?>
              <li><a><?php echo $this->escape($districts->wijk); ?></a></li>       
            <?php endforeach; ?>
              </ul>
          </div>

This is how it looks:

Now I want that when you click on a link that I can load data and show data from the database depending on the link you clicked. How can I do this?

I tried it with javascript. Is it possible that you can load data with ajax call to an action in a controller?

My javascript:

$("#wijken ul li a").click(function(e){  

var wijk = ($(this).text());

$.ajax({ 

  type: "POST",
  url: "index/test",                    
  data: "wijk",                        

  dataType: 'json',                
  success: function(rows)          
  {
      alert("worked!");

  }, 
  error: function(error){
      alert("didn't worked!");
  }

  });

Could this work or not?

It is a simple example of using Zend Framework and Ajax(JQuery).
