$.post("test.php", { func: "getNameAndTime" }, function(data){ process(data); });
Is one of the examples given for Jquery. Now I am trying to implement Jquery Ajax instead of a custom class we have here so am trying to catch on so bear with me. Above, it shows POST variable "func" containing "getNameAndTime" as a value correct? So if I wanted to pass along say names I would pass along {first: "Bob", last: "Smith"}? I find adding the callback function right in the call a little awkward (probably because I'm new to Jquery). Basically I was adding a onClick function to a link to a function (function test()) and inside I was going to add this jquery code. I just wanted to then have the returned data at my disposal in a variable but it looks like I need to pass it somewhere else? I basically wanted to do this: function disableTips () { $.post("./test.php", {id : id_val}, function(data){ something here? } }) ; then do something with data here } Am I going about it completely the wrong way with jquery?
