[SOLVED] POST Javascript Variable to PHP


PatPHP

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

 

I'm not very experienced with Javascript. But I found a pretty cool AJAX Script which allows text auto completion like you have seen in fb or google search. It's called Proto!MultiSelect. Now this script works perfect but the example page also only displays the values in a message box. How can I send this information via Post to a php webpage instead?

 

Here test webpage:

If I press the Get Values button I want to send this values to a php page instead of showing it in a message box.

 

Here the code if it helps:

            </ul>

          </div>
          <!-- These two writers will be added when the control is loaded -->

        </li>
      </ol>   
    </form>  
    <div id="button_container">       
        <button onclick="tlist2.update(); alert($F('facebook-demo'));return false;">Get Values</button>
    </div>
    <script language="JavaScript">
        document.observe('dom:loaded', function() {
        
        
          // init
          tlist2 = new FacebookList('facebook-demo', 'facebook-auto',{fetchFile:'fetched.php'});
          
          // fetch and feed
          new Ajax.Request('json.php', {
            onSuccess: function(transport) {
                transport.responseText.evalJSON(true).each(function(t){tlist2.autoFeed(t)});
            }
          });
        });    
    </script>

  </body>  
</html>

Cool;-) I found a solution;-)

 

Just add a hidden field to the form and assign value to it before you send it;-)

 

<form name="frm" method="post">
   <input type='hidden' name='participations'/>
</form>

<button onclick="tlist2.update(); send();">Send</button>

<script language="JavaScript">
    function send() {
	window.document.frm.participations.value = $F('multiselectlist-demo');
	window.document.frm.action = "get.php"
	window.document.frm.submit()
    }
</script>
