AJAX Load Content and Pass Variable (POST) - ajax

I'm trying to pass a href-attribute to a content I'd like to load with AJAX, but I'm not able to find the right solution for this.
Link
I know how to pass a simple value ...
var data = { id: 123 };
$('.container').load( 'content.php', data );
But how can I pass a variable?
var href = $(this).attr('href');
$('.container').load( 'content.php', ???????????? );

If I understand you well you want to do this:
var href = $(this).attr('href');
$('.container').load( 'content.php', { href:href });

ajax call to redirect url in current page without query string

This url pass in map and display route. Problem is in query string. Which is not accept more value, so I want to display in current page without refresh page.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#myMapModal').click(function(){
var application_id = $('#current_application').val();
var township_id = $('#current_township').val();
var ttype = $('#current_ttype').val();
var url = "/portal/grower-draw-map?application_id="+application_id+"&township_id="+township_id+"&ttype="+ttype;
$.post(

function(data){
window.open(url);
});

Laravel render for differend controller method

I'm struggling with the render() method in Laravel 5.
When $whatever->render() is runned, it takes the controller method name as the route by default.
Example:
When i run this command in DelasController#updateFilter, the pagination route is set to whatever.com/marketplace/updateFiler?page=2, which does not make a sense to me.
Problem:
I want to keep the route as simple as whatever.com/marketplace?page=2.
Question:
Can anybody gives me a hint on how to solve this?
Thank you for your time and a discussion.
Looking forward for a reply.
I have an application in which various paginated lists are displayed in "windows" on the page and are updated via AJAX calls to the server. Here's how I did it:
Set up a route to render the whole page, something like this:
Route::get('/marketplace', function ($arguments) {
....
});
Set up a route which will return the current page of the list. For example, it might be something like this:
Route::get('/marketplace/updateFiler', function ($arguments) {
....
});
In your Javascript code for the page, you need to change the pagination links so that, instead of loading the new page with the URL for the link, it makes the AJAX request to the second route. The Javascript could look something like this:
$('ul.pagination a').on('click', function (event) {
// stop the default action
event.stopPropagation();
event.preventDefault();
// get the URL from the link
var url = $(event.currentTarget).attr('href');
// get the page number from the URL
var page = getURLParameterByName(url, 'page');
$.get('marketplace/updateFiler', { page: page }, function (data){
// do something with the response from the server
});
});
The getURLParameterByName function is simply a helper that extracts the named parameter from a URL:
var getURLParameterByName = function (url, name, defaultValue) {
// is defaultValue undefined? if so, set it to false
//
if (typeof defaultValue === "undefined") {
defaultValue = false;
}
name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\]");
var regex = new RegExp("[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)"),
results = regex.exec(url);
return results === null ?
defaultValue :
decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
};
I adapted this code from an answer I found here on Stack Overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/a/901144/2008384.

Send Multiple data with ajax

I want to use ajax for add data in database and i found following code in net and it is working fine.
<script language='javascript'>
reqObj=null;
function saveCust(){
document.getElementById('res').innerHTML='processing';
if(window.XMLHttpRequest){
reqObj=new XMLHttpRequest();
}else {
reqObj=new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');
}
reqObj.onreadystatechange=processSave;
reqObj.open('POST','./custSave?reqObj.open('POST','./cName?id='+document.getElementById('CustCode').value,true);,true);
reqObj.send(null);
}
function processSave(){
if(reqObj.readyState==4){
document.getElementById('res').innerHTML=reqObj.responseText;
}
}
</script>
Above code sends only one String but, i have 5 Strings in my form.
Please anybody alter the code for sending multiple data.
The problem is that you're sending a single parameter in the reqObj.open function:
reqObj.open('POST','./custSave?reqObj.open('POST','./cName?id='+document.getElementById('CustCode').value,true);,true);
Note that the only parameter you send is id.
You can add more parameters in the flavor of QueryString:
id=something&otherParameter=else //and more parameters
IMO the easiest way to handle an ajax request would be using jQuery, as shown and heavily explained by BalusC in How to use Servlets and Ajax?.
Based on the samples there and jQuery Ajax POST example with PHP, you can come with the following code:
Assuming the 5 Strings are in the form
function saveCust(){
$('#res').html('processing');
var $form = $(this);
var serializedData = $form.serialize();
$.post('./custSave', serializedData, function(responseText) {
$('#res').html(responseText);
});
}
Assuming there's data outside the form
function saveCust(){
$('#res').html('processing');
var $form = $(this);
var serializedData = $form.serialize() + "&id=" + $('#CustCode').val();
$.post('./custSave', serializedData, function(responseText) {
$('#res').html(responseText);
});
}
And you can even enhance this using more jQuery functions, but that's outside the scope of this answer.

Passing the signed_request along with the AJAX call to an ActionMethod decorated with CanvasAuthorize

This is a follow-up to AJAX Call Does Not Trigger Action Method When Decorated With CanvasAuthorize
So I found the following links and it seems that this is a common problem:
http://facebooksdk.codeplex.com/discussions/251878
http://facebooksdk.codeplex.com/discussions/250820
I tried to follow the advice by prabir but I couldn't get it to work...
Here's my setup:
I have the following snippet in the page where the button that triggers the whole post to facebook is located:
#if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Params["signed_request"]))
{
<input type="hidden" id="signedReq" value="#Request.Params["signed_request"]" />
}
And then I have this snippet (inside a script tag inside the same page):
var signedRequest = $('#signedReq').val();
$('.facebookIcon').click(function () {
var thisItem = $(this).parent().parent();
var msg = thisItem.find('.compItemDescription').text();
var title = thisItem.find('.compareItemTitle').text();
var itemLink = thisItem.find('.compareItemTitle').attr('href');
var img = thisItem.find('img').first().attr('src');
postOnFacebook(msg, itemLink, img, title, signedRequest);
});
And finally, inside an external js file I have the following function:
/*Facebook post item to wall*/
function postOnFacebook(msg, itemLink, pic, itemTitle, signedReq) {
console.log(signedReq);
var siteUrl = 'http://www.localhost:2732';
$.ajax({
url: '/Facebook/PostItem',
data: {
'message': msg,
'link': siteUrl + itemLink,
'picture': siteUrl + pic,
'name' : itemTitle,
'signed_request': signedReq
},
type: 'get',
success: function(data) {
if(data.result == "success") {
alert("item was posted on facebook");
}
}
});
}
But signedReq is always undefined. And I'm not really sure I should be passing the 'signed_request' field inside the data object. Any thoughts?
Make sure you hidden input field is being populated.
Also, when you try to pull the ID of the input field via JQuery, you might not be referencing the proper element since .NET butcher's ID's of anything that's run on the server.
When I use the hidden input field trick, I set the jquery value like so:
var signedRequest = $('#<%=signedReq.ClientID %>').val();
This way, I'm getting the identifier that .NET is giving to the HTML element.
Hope that helps.
Just a guess - in your hidden field: id="signed_request" instead of id="signedReq"

Update using Prototype and Ajax

I am using Ajax and Prototype. In my code, I need to update the contents of a div.
My div:
<div id="update">
1. Content_1
</div>
My code:
Element.update($("update"),"2.Content_2");
Expected output:
<div id="update">
1.Content_1
2.Content_2
</div>
How can I do this in Ajax and Prototype?
AJAX usually means you are executing a script on the server to get this result.
However, in your example it looks like you simply want to append some text.
To append text you could simply add the text to the end of the innerHTML:
$("update").innerHTML = $("update").innerHTML + "2.Content_2";
If you are wanting to execute a server script, I'd do this: (I haven't used Prototype for a while, things might have changed)
function getResult()
{
var url = 'theServerScriptURL.php';
var pars = '';
var myAjax = new Ajax.Request(
url,
{
method: 'post',
parameters: {},
onComplete: showResult
});
}
function showResult(originalRequest)
{
$("update").innerHTML = originalRequest.responseText;
}
This code will call 'theServerScriptURL.php' and display the result in the div with id of 'update'.
