How To Add Jquery Value To DB When Function Ends?
Posted: Mon Nov 02, 2009 8:06 am
Hey. I am working on figuring out how the Jquery UI Slider works. For reference:
http://docs.jquery.com/UI/API/1.7.2/Slider
To be more clear, I am trying to learn how to manipulate it so the value, once the slider has stopped, are entered into mysql. Below is
the working code of my slider which, for now, is used as a rating system. The bold part
is what displays the value after the slider is in use. All I want to do is add that to mysql via ajax.
Do I just call an ajax function and use var= ... to create the variable and send it? Do I need special ajax
code to say "The slider has stopped, NOW insert it" ? This is where I am confused. Ty
Actually, I wonder if something like:
$.post("http://site.com", {queryString: ""+inputString+""}
would work? If so, would I be able to create a var for the value or just pass it to a hidden field and then submit based on that, if I call the field inputString?
Thanks.

Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#slider").slider({
value:5,
min: 0,
max: 5,
step: 1,
slide: function(event, ui) {
[b] $("#amount").val('' + ui.value + ' Stars');[/b]
}
});
$("#amount").val('' + $("#slider").slider("value") + ' Stars');
});
</script>$.post("http://site.com", {queryString: ""+inputString+""}
would work? If so, would I be able to create a var for the value or just pass it to a hidden field and then submit based on that, if I call the field inputString?
