Question

my jquery is not populating the div myPrint on either success or failure.

here is my ajax

$.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: 'file.php',
            data: 'tyID=' + tyID.value ,
            success: function(success) {
                if(success == 1) {
                    $("#myPrint").html('Worked'); 

                } else {
                    $("#myPrint").html('there Didnt work'); 
                }
            }
        });

Try this

$.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: 'file.php',
            data: {tyID: tyID.value },
            success: function(success) {
                if(success == 1) {
                    $("#myPrint").html('Worked'); 

                } else {
                    $("#myPrint").html('there Didnt work'); 
                }
            }
        });
