rated 0 times [ 54] [ 5] / answers: 1 / hits: 165929 / 11 Years ago, sat, may 25, 2013, 12:00:00

I'm trying to complete some ajax requests to insert a textarea into a database without refresh. Here is my code:

HTML:

<textarea name='Status'> </textarea>

<input type='button' onclick='UpdateStatus()' value='Status Update'>

JS:

function UpdateStatus(Status)

    {

    var Status = $(this).val();



        $(function()

        {

            $.ajax({

                url: 'Ajax/StatusUpdate.php?Status='.Status, data: , dataType: 'json'

            });



        });

    }

My Questions:

1) How do I send the contents of the text area into the onclick function?

2) How do I escape/urlencode etc.. So it retains line breaks

<textarea name='Status'> </textarea>

<input type='button' value='Status Update'>

You have few problems with your code like using . for concatenation

Try this -

$(function () {

    $('input').on('click', function () {

        var Status = $(this).val();

        $.ajax({

            url: 'Ajax/StatusUpdate.php',

            data: {

                text: $(textarea[name=Status]).val(),

                Status: Status

            },

            dataType : 'json'

        });

    });

});
