What you probably want to do here, Nate, is simply output the PHP variable in
your HTML response, like this:
<h1 id="foo"><?php echo $searchterm ?></h1>
And then in your JavaScript code, you can manipulate the text through the DOM
like this:
$('#foo').html('Cooking');

Subject: [CODE4LIB] jQuery Ajax request to update a PHP variable
If I have in my PHP script a variable...
$searchterm = 'Drawing';
And I want to update 'Drawing' to be 'Cooking' w/ a jQuery hover effect on the
client side then I need to make an Ajax request, correct?
What I can't figure out is what that is supposed to look like... something
like...
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "myfile.php",
data: "...not sure how to write what goes here to make it 'Cooking'..."
});
Any ideas?
