    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to use Ajax together with jQuery to make a little window pop up when you click on a username in my custom forums.</p> <p>My current code for the script:</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function () { $('#profile_link').click(function () { $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: 'viewuser.php', dataType: 'html', contentType: 'text/html', data: { username: $('#username').val() }, success: function (html) { $('#message').addClass('success'); $('#message').hide().append(html).fadeIn(); } }); return false; }); }); </code></pre> <p>I tried using html(), but that didn't work at all, as it didn't even display the response, even though I could see the response in Firebug.</p> <p>Here's the code to viewuser.php:</p> <pre><code> &lt;?php $docRoot = getenv("DOCUMENT_ROOT"); require_once $docRoot.'/settings.php'; loginMySQL(); selectDatabase(); $user = $_POST['username']; $sql = mysql_query ("SELECT `UserName`,`Avatar`,`Biography`,`Birthday`,`UserLevel`,`BanStatus` FROM users WHERE `UserName` = '$user'"); $UserInfo = mysql_fetch_array($sql); $UserAvatar = $UserInfo['Avatar']; $UserBio = $UserInfo['Biography']; $UserBirth = $UserInfo['Birthday']; $UserLevel = $UserInfo['UserLevel']; $BanStatus = $UserInfo['BanStatus']; // additional code ... ?&gt; &lt;div class="nav_space"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; // additional code &lt;div class="user_profile_wrapper"&gt; Hello &lt;?=$BanStatus;?&gt; &lt;i&gt;Username / Power level:&lt;/i&gt; &lt;div class="user_profile_name" &lt;?=$LevelColour;?&gt;&gt; &lt;?=$user;?&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;?=$UserLevel;?&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;i&gt;User avatar:&lt;/i&gt; &lt;div class="user_profile_avatar"&gt; &lt;? if (strlen($UserAvatar) &gt; 1) { ?&gt; &lt;img/ src="&lt;?=$UserAvatar;?&gt;" alt="" width="100" /&gt; &lt;? } ?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;i&gt;Biography:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;div class="user_profile_bio"&gt; &lt;?=$UserBio;?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;i&gt;Birthdate:&lt;/i&gt; &lt;div class="user_profile_birthdate"&gt; &lt;?=$UserBirth;?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;?=$AUserLevel;?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="nav_space"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>And the problem is, when it returns the code, it doesn't actually display any of the variables ($BanStatus, $UserLevel, anything). </p> <p>Any ideas?</p>
