Thanks Leonel,
I tried both options but couldn't get them to work - or at least I haven't
found the right combination.
I also created a simple ajax form using the example in the book to apply
your two recommendations. I could only get it to work with the 'return
false' statement but that would not disable the button to prevent double
submission. If I remove the 'return false' statement, the button shows
'working ...' but the target is not updated.
I'm still trying to learn what's happening so thanks for your explanations.
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
<div id="target"></div>
<form id="myform">
<input name="your_message" id="your_message" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<script>
jQuery('#myform').submit(function() {
ajax('{{=URL('new_post')}}',
['your_message'], 'target');
//return false;
});
</script>
