NomadicJosh Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I am not a jquery guru in any sense, so I am seeking some help with the below code. What I am trying to do, is populate two input fields, based on what is selected from a dropdown field via a database call. When I select a term from the dropdown, I want the term start date and term end date to populate in the appropriate fields. First here is my form: <form class="form-horizontal margin-none" action="<?=BASE_URL;?>form/runSection/" id="validateSubmitForm" method="post" autocomplete="off"> <div class="control-group"> <label class="control-label"><font color="red">*</font> <?php _e( _t( 'Term' ) ); ?></label> <div class="controls"> <select style="width:100%;" name="termCode" id="select2_10" required> <option value=""> </option> <?php table_dropdown('term', 'termCode', 'termName'); ?> </select> </div> </div> <div class="control-group"> <label class="control-label"><?php _e( _t( 'Term Start/End' ) ); ?></label> <div class="controls"> <input type="text" name="termStartDate" id="termStartDate" disabled class="span6" required /> <input type="text" name="termEndDate" id="termEndDate" disabled class="span6" required /> </div> </div> Second here is the javascript section: <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery('#select2_10').live('change', function(event) { $.ajax({ type : 'POST', url : '<?=BASE_URL;?>section/runTermLookup/', dataType: 'json', data : $('#validateSubmitForm').serialize(), cache: false, success: function( data ) { for(var id in data) { $(id).val( data[id] ); } } }); }); }); </script> Third, here is the method from my controller which passes the $_POST['termCode'] to the method of the same name found in the model: public function runTermLookup() { if(!$this->_auth->isUserLoggedIn()) { redirect( BASE_URL ); } $data = array(); $data['termCode'] = isPostSet('termCode'); $this->model->runTermLookup($data); } Lastly, here is the method from my model: public function runTermLookup($data) { $bind = array(":term" => $data['termCode']); $q = DB::inst()->select( "term","termCode = :term","termID","termStartDate,termEndDate", $bind ); $r = $q->fetch(\PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); $json = array( 'input#termStartDate' => $r['termStartDate'], 'input#termEndDate' => $r['termEndDate'] ); echo json_encode($json); } I've been looking at this for hours, so a fresh pair of eyes is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomadicJosh Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 I forget to add that $_POST['termCode'] doesn't seem to get posted when I choose a term from the dropdown option. So, there is something in the jquery that is causing the variable to not be posted for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomadicJosh Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Am I asking the question wrong, or do I need to add more detail of what I am trying to accomplish here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution NomadicJosh Posted August 29, 2013 Author Solution Share Posted August 29, 2013 I used Google Chrome developer and saw that termCode was stated three times in the form. Once I corrected them, the problem was fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
