[$.ajax] Help success: function

[JonnySnip3r]

Hey guys im new to jquery, anyways im testing out some stuff and i have been making a form that submits without refresh. Anyways so far so good but i seem to have a problem i can manage to gather all of the information from the text fields echo them out in an alert to ensure i have everything and i can pass it through to another page even add it to a database. But how do i return a message to let the user know it was successful?

 

If my php script returns true;

 

how do i catch this? here is what i have::

 

$(document).ready(function(){

$("#submit").click(function(){
	var name = $('input[name=fullname]');
	var email = $('input[name=email]');
	var subject = $('input[name=subject]');
	var comment = $('textarea[name=comment]');
	var captcha = $('input[name=captcha]');

	if(name.val()==''){
		name.addClass('error');
		return false;
	}else{
		name.removeClass('error');
	}
	if(email.val()==''){
		email.addClass('error');
		return false;
	}else{
		name.removeClass('error');
	}
	if(subject.val()==''){
		subject.addClass('error');
		return false;
	}else{
		subject.removeClass('error');
	}
	if(comment.val()==''){
		comment.addClass('error');
		return false;
	}else{
		comment.removeClass('error');
	}
	if(captcha.val()==''){
		captcha.addClass('error');
		return false;
	}else{
		captcha.removeClass('error');
	}

	var data = 'name=' + name.val() + '&email=' + email.val() + '&subject=' + subject.val() + '&comment=' + comment.val() + '&captcha=' + captcha.val();

	$("#submit").fadeOut("fast");
	$("#loading").show();

	$.ajax({
		url: "process.php",
		type: "POST",
		data: data,
		cache: false,

		success: function(html){
			if(html==1){
				$("#loading").hide();
				alert("Sent!");
			}else{
				$("#loading").hide();
				alert("Failed!");
			}
		}
	});
	return false;
});
});

 

I found online the (html) but how else could this be done it seems that when my script returns true it will alert me saying failed even when though everything was successful.

 

Hope someone can help thanks!

In your success function you are checking that html equals 1 for success, this what process.php echos?

 

I usually use json to return data from ajax calls. You can checkout a decent example here.
