Hi all- this is my first post here, I've been working with javascript for only a few months and can usually find the answers by googling, but I am kind of stumped on this one.
I have a form where I can select toppings for a pizza and when you change the dropdown selector to choose a topping, a javascript function posts to a standalone php file to automatically update the database. It works great in chrome, but I can't seem to get it to work in IE.
If I run the standalone script directly in a browser window, it works, even in IE. So I am assuming that my javascript code that posts to the file is not able to post to the file in IE for some reason.
Here is the js function trying to post to the form:
function updateCart() { var filename = "<?php echo $server;?>update_cart.php"; $.post(filename, $("#cartform").serialize()); alert("file name: " +filename); }
The alert pops up and correctly displays the path to the file in both chrome and IE.
Does anyone see any obvious reasons why this wouldn't work in IE?
thanks for your help,
Andy
