This is the JS code: $('.makeFavorite').click(function() { $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "make_favorite.php", data: "id=" + $(this.id), success: function(msg) { alert('Data saved: ' + msg); $('h1 a#' + this.id + ' img').attr({src : "images/"+msg+".png"}); } }); return false; }); The HTML code: <h1>{$ent.firma} <a href="{$ent.id}" class="makeFavorite" id="{$ent.id}" title="Save favorite"><img src="images/{if $ent.favorit == 1}favorites.png{else}favorites2.png{/if}" width="16" height="16" alt="" /></a></h1>
Both variables don't do what what I expect them to do. The first doesn't find the correct target/id and the seccond doesn't insert the image correctly. But if I write down the id and the true path it works fine. What do I have to change?
