thanks for the help everyone! it's been sorted.

No change... thanks though. Cant figure this out!

Thanks, I've added this, but still no resuts. Regarding the on() method, I am not familiar... if you have any details please let me know. Regarding mysqli, I am aware, but not about to start mid way through a rather large application.

Hello all, looking for some help here as I seem to be fairly stuck... this yields no results at all and I give up, I need help! The user should be able to select an employee from a select field, and based on their selected we should be able to grab the start time and end time of that empoyee, which resides on the database. My form: <form action=".php" name="absence" id="absence" method="post"> Employee: <select name="empid" class="clockinputs" required> <option value=""></option> <option value='20'>Bob Jones</option> <option value='13'>Bob Phones</option> <option value='93'>Bob Lomes</option> <option value='30'>Bob Somes</option> <option value='107'>Bob Pomes</option> <option value='74'>Bob Womes</option> </select> Shift Start: <input type="text" name="startshift" id="startshift" class="clockinputs" data-inputmask="'mask': '99:99:99'" required> Shift End: <input type="text" name="endshift" id="endshift" class="clockinputs" data-inputmask="'mask': '99:99:99'" required> <input type="hidden" name="eid" value="<?php echo $row{'EID'}; ?>"> <input type="submit" value="Save"> </form> Javascript: <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery('#empid').live('change', function(event) { $.ajax({ url : 'absence-get.php', type : 'POST', dataType: 'json', data : $('#absence').serialize(), success: function( data ) { for(var id in data) { $(id).val( data[id] ); } } }); }); }); </script> And absence-get.php: <?php $e = $_POST['empid']; $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM employees WHERE EID='$e' "); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC) $startshift = $row{'startshift'}; $endshift = $row{'endshift'}; $arr = array( 'input#startshift' => $startshift , 'input#endshift' => $endshift ); echo json_encode( $arr ); ?> Anyone spot anything? Thank you!
