Making Ajax Request

[bravo14]

Hi

 

I am using the code below to 'tag' an image in afacebook style,but I also want to add the tag details to a db

$("#img1").tag({
save: function(width,height,top_pos,left,label,the_tag){
	alert('I can save this tag ('+width+','+height+','+top_pos+','+left+','+label+')');
	/* once the ajax is done I need to get the ID here and then set it on the tag */
	the_tag.setId('someIdFromMyDb');
},
remove: function(id){
	alert('Here I can do some ajax to delete tag #'+id+' in my db');
}
});

 

Where it says alert('I can save this tag ('+width+','+height+','+top_pos+','+left+','+label+')'); and the_tag.setId('someIdFromMyDb');

 

I have the php page to add the tags to the database.

<?php
include('includes/connect_inc.php');
$lot_id=$_SESSION['lot_id'];
$top=$_GET['top_pos'];
$left=$_GET['left'];
$label=$_GET['label'];

$add_tag=("INSERT into `tbl_tags` (`lot_id`,`top`,`left`,`width`,`height`,`description`) VALUES ('$lot_id','$top','$left','100','100','$label')");
?>

I am just unsure as to how to send the request and get the details back of the tags

 

Any help would be much apperciated

Look at the jquery manual here:  http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.get  As noted, post is a shorthand for the generic ajax function.

Is "tag" a plug-in? It's certainly not standard jQuery.

I found the tutorial/plugin here

I've never heard of it before. Unfortunately I'm not going to sit down and learn how it works for free, as I'm sure most people here will take the same view. You would most certainly get the solution posting in the freelance board though..

Do any of you know of any standard jquery plug-ins that allow for 'photo-tagging' and adding the values to a database?
