Question

I’m wondering why my code is not updating the the ajax call when I click on a button. It shows only after I do page refresh. My Code below:

Here is the complete jquery/javascript code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(“#savesubmainbutton”).live(‘click’,function(){

           $.post('save-sub-main.php',  $("#submainform").serialize(), function(data) {
              $('#submain_save_message').html(data);
            });

            $('#submain').hide();

            // Load data after submission
                $.get('getsubmain.php', { mainid: "<?php echo $_GET['id'];  ?>" },
                function(data) {
                  $('.submain_message').html(data);

                });



        });

    }); //end

This is the HTML form part

<div id="submain">

    <form id="submainform" name="submainform" method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
    <table><input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000" />
    <!--<tr><td width="289" align="right">Jou naam:</td><td><input type="text" name="yourname" id="yourname" style="background-color:lightblue;" /></td></tr>
    <tr><td width="289" align="right">Jou e-posadres:</td><td><input type="text" name="email" id="email" style="background-color:lightblue;"/></td></tr>-->
    <tr><td width="289" align="right">Naam van die geskiedkundige figuur (bv. Jan van Riebeeck):</td><td><input type="text" name="name" id="name" /></td></tr>
    <tr><td width="289" align="right">Foto van die geskiedkundige figuur :</td><td><input id="file_upload" name="file_upload" type="file" /></td></tr>
    <tr><td width="289" align="right"><div id="filname"></div></td><td><input id="filename2" name="image" type="hidden" value=""  /></td></tr>
    <!--<tr><td width="289" align="right">Naam van jou inskrywing :</td><td><input type="text" name="title" id="title" /></td></tr>-->
    <tr><td width="289" align="right">Datum waarop die inskrywing gemaak is (bv. 1652):</td><td><input type="text" name="date" id="date" /></td></tr>
    <tr><td width="289" align="right">Status update (bv. Wat sien ek daar in die verte? Is dit 'n tafel?):</td><td><textarea name="message" id="message"></textarea></td></tr>
    <input type="hidden" name="mainid" value="<?php echo $_GET['id']; ?>" />
    <tr><td></td><td><div id="savesubmainbutton" style="color:blue"><input type="button" value="Save" /></div></td></tr>
    </table>
    </form>

Remember your ajax call is async – so the post has not returned the data before your get is executing – change your code as shown.

 $(document).ready(function() { 

// Save SubMain data
    $("#savesubmainbutton").live('click',function(){

       $.post('save-sub-main.php',  $("#submainform").serialize(), function(data) {
          $('#submain_save_message').html(data);
          $('#submain').hide();

        // Load data after submission
            $.get('getsubmain.php', { mainid: "<?php echo $_GET['id'];  ?>" },
            function(data) {
              $('.submain_message').html(data);

            });

        });





    });

}); //end
