PHP SQL on click update number

Recommended Posts

I have a notifications system and after many late nighters and dr peppers I finally have it working. My only issue is that the notifications "bell" has the number of new notifications in the middle of it. When I click the button it will show me my unread notifications and when I close it the number of unread notifications stays the same. I'm using a sql statement to get the number of unread posts on load but when I click the button to reveal the notifications I'd like it to update the number of unread posts as well.

Here's some code I have:

//GETS THE NOTIFICATIONS
function toggleDiv(divId) {
   $("#"+divId).show();


$(document).ready(function(){
   $("#myContent").load("getnotes.php");
});
}




//BUTTON TO PRESS TO SHOW THE NOTIFICATIONS PANEL
<a data-ajax="false" href="#myContent" onclick="toggleDiv('myContent');" data-role="button" data-iconpos="notext" class="icon-bell-alt icon-2x" style="background: none; margin-right: 20px;"></a>




//SHOWS THE NUMBER OF UNREAD POSTS
<div id='notes_number'><? if ($number == "0") { echo $number; } else { echo "<a style='color: #FF0000;'>$number</a>"; }?></div>

What can I do to update the number?
