I'm able to pass a value from the select/option to div but I can't seem to get a way of sending the same value to controller(then database). I have tried different AJAX methods but they seem not to pass the variables to controller. How do I get it to be done? So far this is my code:
def insert_task(): """an ajax callback that returns a <ul>""" task_name = request.vars.name pp = [] pp.append(task_name)#db.mylist.insert(task=task_name) return pp <div id="target"> <form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" class="hidden"> <select name="search_category" question="What is your age range?"> <option value="<39">Below 39 yrs</option> <option value="40-54">40 to 64 yrs</option> <option value=">65">Above 65 yrs</option> </select> <select name="search_category" question="What is the choice of your books?" > <option value="1">Non-Fiction</option> <option value="2">Fiction</option> <option value="3">Childrens</option> <option value="4">Biography</option> </select> </form> <script> //$('#ddlViewBy option:selected').text() $('#ddlViewBy').change(function(){ alert($(this).val()); $("#target").text($(this).val());//working }); </script> -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
