    text
    copied!<p>In my <code>$('#my_form').submit(function()</code> I have a code that should add some more information on selected song from <code>my_form</code> form. I would like it to be able to change content of <code>info_table</code> on each form submission (if different song is marked). How can I do this ? If I leave <code>return false;</code> then the page won't reload anymore.</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js" &gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;form id="my_form"&gt; &lt;table border='2' id="my_table"&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Show song info" id="submit_button"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;table border='2' id="info_table"&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;script&gt; var my_xml; $(document).ready(function() { $.get("songs_2.xml", function(d){ my_xml = d; //$('body').append("&lt;table border='2'&gt;"); var html = ""; var i = 0; $(d).find('song').each(function(){ var $song = $(this); var title = $song.find('title').text(); var artist = $song.find('artist').text(); var cover = $song.find('cover').text(); var id = $song.find("id").text(); html += "&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;"+id+"&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td width='120'&gt;&lt;b&gt;" + artist + " &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td width='150'&gt; " + title + "&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;"; html += "&lt;img src='" + cover + "' height='50' width='50'/&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;input type='radio' name='which' value='"+id+"'&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;" ; $('#my_table').append($(html)); html = "" i++; }); }); }); $('#my_form').submit(function() { var i = $("#my_form input[type='radio']:checked").val(); $.get("songs_2.xml", function(d){ my_xml = d; //$('body').append("&lt;table border='2'&gt;"); var html = ""; var i = 0; $(d).find('song').each(function(){ var $song = $(this); var title = $song.find('title').text(); var artist = $song.find('artist').text(); var cover = $song.find('cover').text(); var id = $song.find("id").text(); $('#info_table').html("&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;" + ALOTOFINFO + "&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;"); }); }); return false; }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre>
