  1. POAjax is eluding me. How to execute a simple ajax request?
    text
    copied!<p>Okay background i am a js and ajax noob. I work mainly in php and mysql html 5, i decided to get with the times and stop having to reload the page for simple things. </p> <p>I am trying to make a simple ajax request to a php file and print the result.</p> <p>So on my page i have a text bax with the id password(leftover from another experiment) a jquery ui tabs setup with a tab with the id galleries and a div with the id my-galleries. The idea is that upon click on the galleries tab the value of the password field is pulled and sent to the php file my-galleries.php and the result is printed to the div my-galleries and displayed.</p> <p>The code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;input type="password" id="password"/&gt; &lt;div id="tabs"&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li id="welcome"&gt;&lt;a href="content/welcome.html"&gt;Welcome&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="content/about.html"&gt;About&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#my-galleries" id="galleries"&gt;Galleries&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="content/contact.html"&gt;Contact&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;div id="my-galleries"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then the js</p> <pre><code>$("#galleries").click(function(){ $.ajax({ type : 'POST', url : 'my-galleries.php', dataType : 'json', data: { password : $('#password').val() }, success: function(msg){ $("#my-galleries").html(msg) } }) }); </code></pre> <p>Then the php</p> <pre><code>$password= $_REQUEST['password']; $salt= uniqid(); $str= $salt.$password; $hash= hash("sha512", $str); echo $hash; </code></pre> <p>According to the tuts i have been reading it should work but it doesn't. I cant figure it out.</p>
