Hi, I believe you can use the following approach:
Since you are requesting to another page, you can use the server-side script (PHP) to return the id, type, and success message in JSON format and then use them from jQuery, and instead of $.get, you can use $.getJSON or $.ajax, Using this approach would also allow you to show an error message should any error occur in server side. http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/jQuery.getJSON http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/jQuery.ajax Also, just a thought, using class 'doit' instead of id would allow to you assign it to multiple Tags/elements on the page. [html] <a href="something.php?id=123&type=456" class="doit" title="Do it">do it</a> <a href="something.php?id=788&type=457" class="doit" title="Do it">do it</a> [js] $(".doit").click(function(){ var $this = $(this); // store this reference for future use $.getJSON(this.href, function(data) { if( data.success == '1') { // successful from server-side $this.replaceWith('I\'ve been there (<a href="something.undo.php? id='+data.id+'&type='+data.type+'">undo</a>)'); } else { // not successful, show error or do something else } }); return false; }); [php /server-side script] // process the request and then IF Successful, then echo in JSON format, header('Content-Type: text/plain'); echo '{ success : "1" , id : "'.$_GET['id'].' ", type: ".$_GET ['type'].'" }'; // or you can use json_encode (requires PHP 5.2) exit; // PHP - json_encode, http://ca.php.net/json_encode There are several other alternative approach... I hope it helps, Thanks, Abdullah.
