I think Jay is making the reasonable assumption that the response from addCategory.php is the markup for the new list items. If so, then you what he suggested: $('#myList').html(data); If the response is something else, or nothing at all, then you need to fetch it with a GET. How you implement it on the server is up to you, but the jQuery code could be as simple as this: $('#myList').load('lib/getCategory.php?category=' + catName);
