[jQuery] Simplae JQuery/Ajax question - GET variables

2010-01-19 Thread parot

I am very (very) used to PHP but just trying to grips with JQuery/Ajax and
this is a very simple problem that I cannot find an easy -  understandable
answer to especially one that works - strange I know.  My experience is that
all answers to this question - on another site - are too complex and totally
miss the point.

Take a standard HTML link   Get this page   now add a get variable 
?trythis=a-changing-value Get this page 

I want to pass ?trythis=a-changing-value via JQuery/Ajax to another page,
perform a query based on the actual value of 'trythis' ( but for this
example I am only using echo $_GET[] as I can work out the PHP query with
ease ONCE i can get the trythis variable to the page) and then display those
results without a page refresh on the original page. e.g.

Page one

in the head:

$(document).ready(function() {
$(#idoflink).click(function() {

 somewhere I need to declare the variable trythis and use it in
JQuery/Ajax- WHERE and HOW  and no a fixed hard coded reply will not help,
the variable trythis will have changing values

  $(#display_results_here).load(tryit.php);

});
  });

In the body

?trythis=a-changing-value Get this page 

div id=display_results_here/div

Then on the page tryit.php a simple echo $_GET['trythis'];

What I cannot do and I do not seem to get a sensible, easy to follow and
understandable answer from knowledgeable JQuery people is find out how to
pass the valiable trythis to the page tryit.php and then return the result,
in this case a simple php echo.

I must misunderstand you...

var trythis = 57;
$.get(tryit.php, { trythis: trythis }, function(data) {
$(#resultsGoHere).html(data); });

Thnks Nathan, 

Very near, but it is more basic than that - how do I get the variable
?trythis=changable value into var trythis=;

Sounds silly and quiet simpel, but can I get a plain english answer - no

Thanks for your reply

Maybe a sequence diagram would be helpful. Here's what I hear you asking:

Could you modify that to better explain what you mean, maybe?

Hi Nathan 

http://www.websequencediagrams.com - now I'm really confused I think I
understand it but but let me explain

I want to scroll back and forward through the months on a calendar without
refreshing the page. I have the php calendar, but I don't want any page
refresh which I can do with PHP and just send the GET to the page.  so
ideally what I need is 2 links back and forward with the month variable i.e.
1-12 (Jan - Dec) passed to JQury/Ajax. I have been looking at a number of
scripts, but all to far complex (i.e. do more than I need) just I cant
fathom out how to pass Back (Jan go to Dec) or Forward (Jan go to Feb) and
so on. just need 1 month at a time, nothing fancy etc.

How's about something like this?

button id=prevMonthPrevious month/button
div id=calendar/div
button id=nextMonthNext month/button

script type=text/javascript
var currentMonth = 1;
function loadMonth(newMonth) {
   $(#calendar).load(getCalendar.php?m=+newMonth);
}
$().ready(function() {
   loadMonth(currentMonth);
   $(button#prevMonth).click(function() { loadMonth(--currentMonth); });
   $(button#nextMonth).click(function() { loadMonth(++currentMonth); });
});
/script

Nathan, what can I say, perfect. Thanks a lot.  Think I understand it, Do
years automatically increment / decrease with +newYear -newYear like months
so you could have something like

$(button#prevMonth).click(function() {
loadMonth(--currentMonth),loadYear(--currentYear); });

Well, to handle year and month you'll want something like:

var currentMonth = 1;
var currentYear = 2010;
function deltaMonth(delta) {
   currentMonth += delta;
   while (currentMonth  1) {
  --currentYear;
  currentMonth += 12;
   }
   while (currentMonth  12) {
  ++currentYear;
  currentMonth -= 12;
   }
}

Natahn,

Very very nearly there - just ummm not sure where to put the Year code. 
Other than that works perfectly in the calander I want which has a show /
hide function for a form with an ajax reply - I got tha bit working
perfectly, it was just using JQuery to prefect a page refresh on the month
change.  That now happensd thanks, just - sorry to be a pain, where do I put
thae year function.  Thanks a real lot.

Hi Nathan

Thanks a lot for everything, managed to sort the years out OK not in the
java but in the PHP page - I'm just an old fashioned PHP type of guy really.

Thanks alot for everything
