Re: [jQuery] noob q - using $().html

OK, I've fixed it. I also had a table which was used to align elements which I had omitted for clarity. I looked up prev(), and saw that it looks for the unique previous element ... removed the table and all is OK. My code us now this: (in myapp.js ) $(document).ready(function() {

[jQuery] noob q - using $().html

Hi Just getting into using js to do things. I'm just experimenting right now. Here is my example code: p id=member_info/p script type=text/javascript function findMember(form){ $(#member_info).html(form.username.value); } /script form name=find_member action= method=GET input

Re: [jQuery] noob q - using $().html

now what happens when I fill in a value and click is that the value I entered into the text box appears in the member_info p ... but disappears again almost straight away. Try: onclick=findMember(this.form); return false;... Without the return false in there you're going to submit the form.

Re: [jQuery] noob q - using $().html

I think the form may be submitting. The whole page is reloading when you click submit. Try onClick=findMember(this.form; return false;. Blair On 1/4/07, Daniel McBrearty [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Just getting into using js to do things. I'm just experimenting right now. Here is my example

it's a form.. it's submitting. you get a new page... it's gone! if you target the form into an iframe you might get your desired results. On 1/3/07, Daniel McBrearty [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Just getting into using js to do things. I'm just experimenting right now. Here is my example

Re: [jQuery] noob q - using $().html

Okay, so Mike and Blair got back to you before I could, but I'm going to answer anyway. They're right, of course, that you need to return false, because you want to stop the default action. One of the great things about jQuery is that it lets you easily separate behavior from content. So

As several others have pointed out, the problem is that the form is submitting. If that's not what you eventually want to happen, why not just make the submit input into a button input (type=button)? Daniel McBrearty wrote: Hi Just getting into using js to do things. I'm just experimenting

Re: [jQuery] noob q - using $().html

I should have mentioned that I changed the HTML as well. I added an ID to the submit button (submit-member). Notice how the event is being triggered now: $('#submit-member').click(function() {...}); Since var username = $(this).prev().val() is appearing inside the click method, $(this)
