jquery, ajax, and flot
jquery, ajax, and flot
Hi,
I'm kinda a newbie to jquery and am stuck with a project I'm trying. I am using the flot graphing library to plot a couple of graphs. But I want to be able to
load different data sets into my graphing canvas by using ajax. Here is what I have so far:
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(function(){
$("a.hotels").click(function() {
//the main ajax request
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: "action=hotel",
url: "votes.php",
success: function(result) {
$.plot($("#graph"), [ result ]);
}
});
});
});
</script>
The response I get from the votes.php file looks like this
[1.2438141E+12,60],[1.2437277E+12,53],[1.2436413E+12,60],[1.2435549E+12,59],[1.2434685E+12,55],[1.2433821E
+12,59],[1.2432957E+12,60],
which is plottable by flot. My only problem is, how do I insert that response inplace of 'result' in the success funtion. Currently it only
comes out as 'result' if I view the source of my page, but if I add
$("span#output"+the_id).html(msg);
to the success function, then I do see my output correctly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
