[SOLVED] Posting data

[ainoy31]

Hello-

 

I have a form that I use javascript to total up the total cost.  I need to post the total cost data to another page.  I am using the span tag to capture it.  Here is my code:

 

Javascript:

function add_buy()
{
$('input.buy').keyup(function()
{
	total_buy = 0;
	$('tr.group').each(function()
	{
		buy = $(this).find('input.buy').val();
		total_buy = total_buy + Number(buy);
		buy_sum = $('span.total_buy');
		buy_sum.text(total_buy,true); 
	});
});
}//end of function add_buy()

 

The form code is:

<table>
		<tr>
   				 <td>
   				 	<label for="total_buy">Total Buy Price:</label>
				<input type="hidden" name="total_buy" id="total_buy" /><span class='total_buy'> 0</span>
    			</td>	
    		</tr>

 

I tried using the $_POST['total_buy'] or $_REQUST['total_buy'] but no luck.  I am missing something stupid here.  Much appreciation.  AM

Okay a few things.

 

1. I don't get your jQuery code. I don't see input.buy or tr.group.

2. You need to make a form to submit it to another page.

 

<table>
		<tr>
   				 <td>
<form method='post' action='site.php'>
   				 	<label for="total_buy">Total Buy Price:</label>
				<input type="hidden" name="total_buy" id="total_buy" /><span class='total_buy'> 0</span>
<input type='submit' value='Submit' name='submit' />
    			</td>	
    		</tr>

Replace site.php with your site. Then on that site, you can use $_POST['total_buy'];

 

Does this help?

In my javascript I use document.getElementById('total_sell').value = num; and document.getElementById('total_buy').value = num;

 

for the input text area I use this segment of code:

<td>
   				 	<label for="total_buy">Total Buy Price:</label>
                    <input type="text" name="total_buy" size="15" class="readonly" id="total_buy" READONLY>
				<!--<span class='total_buy'> 0</span>-->
    			</td>	
    		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>
				<label for="total_sell">Total Sell Price:</label>
				<!--<span class='total_sell'> 0</span>-->
                    <input type="text" name="total_sell" size="15" class="readonly" id="total_sell" READONLY>
      			</td>
