Question

this is my first time to post here. I have a problem on my jquery script. My goal is, I need to send values of a certain link to another page, so that the other page can use the value. I think using ajax post can do the job but I cant get any result. Here is my code:

$(function() {
    var myLink = $('#link');

    $('.class').click(function() {
        var cell1 = $(this).closest('tr').find('td:eq(4)').text();
        var cell2 = $(this).closest('tr').find('td:eq(3)').text();
        var cell3 = $(this).closest('tr').find('td:eq(2)').text();

        var data = 'cell1=' + cell1 + '&cell2=' + cell2 + 'cell3=' + cell3;

    });
});

So I want to know how can I send those value to another page just by clicking the table cell using ajax post. I want to display open it to a new window.

I hope you can help me with this, thank you very much in advance. 😉

If you are posting the values you will have to store them serverside till you reach the other page, another way of doing it would be like this (assuming #link is the link)

$(function() {
    var myLink = $('#link');

    $('.class').click(function() {
        var cell1 = $(this).closest('tr').find('td:eq(4)').text();
        var cell2 = $(this).closest('tr').find('td:eq(3)').text();
        var cell3 = $(this).closest('tr').find('td:eq(2)').text();

        var data = 'cell1=' + cell1 + '&cell2=' + cell2 + 'cell3=' + cell3;
        var baseUrl = "some.page.php" //could be anything
        myLink.attr('href',baseUrl+"?"+data).click();
    });
});

Now, in order to open it in a new window, you could use the old target="_blank" (on #link solution or look up one of the other more proper javascript ways
