Learning AJAX

[ZiNgA BuRgA]

Consider something like this:

HTML Code

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

<form onsubmit="doAjaxSubmit(this);" method="post" action="..."> <input type="text" name="myvalue" /> <input type="submit" value="Go" /> </form> <script language="javascript"> <!-- function doAjaxSubmit(fObj) { var requestString = fObj.elements[0].name+'='+fObj.elements[0].value; // I _think_ that's correct... // I'm going to assume you're writing for MyBB, and using the moofx library new ajax("xmlhttp.php?action=my_custom_action", {method: "post", postBody: requestString, onComplete: function(request) { doAjaxComplete(request); }}); } function doAjaxComplete(response) { // handle stuff when AJAX request is complete here } //--> </script>

---

PHP Code:

//... if($mybb->input['action'] == 'my_custom_action') execute_my_custom_function(); //...
