jQuery Forum

This code has evolved on SO but I'm having issues with the code not passing the variables to the next page.

I have a jquery code that listens for what "folder" the user chooses and then it is supposed to present the information in a div. I moved the ability to choose the folder from being a html select option box to being just links and now the information isn't showing. I believe that it's not passing the variables from the first page to the second page.  When I click on the links nothing appears in the div like it did when I had the folder names in a <select> box.


First page code: (jquery and the php to show the list of folders the user has created)

1. <script type="text/javascript"> 

   $(document).ready(function () { 

   $(".folders").click(function() { 

   var option = $(this).val(); 

   var selectedUser = $("#thename").val(); 

   $.get("selectfolders.php", {select:option,username:selectedUser},function(data){ 

   $("#theresult").html(data).hide().fadeIn(1000); 

   }); 

   }); 

   }); 

   </script> 

   //The php for listing the folders 

   $thelistquery = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM folders WHERE username='$username'"); 

   while ($lrows = mysql_fetch_array($thelistquery)) { 

   $id = $lrows['ID']; 

   $foldername = $lrows['foldername']; 

   $newfoldername = mysql_real_escape_string($foldername); 

   echo "<a class='folders' value='$newfoldername'>$newfoldername</a>"; }

1. $username = $_GET['username']; 

   $theselect = $_GET['select']; 

   $thelistquery = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM folders WHERE username='$username'"); 

   while ($lrows = mysql_fetch_array($thelistquery)) { 

   $id = $lrows['ID']; 

   $foldername = $lrows['foldername']; 

   $newfoldername = mysql_real_escape_string($foldername); 

   if($_GET['select'] == "$newfoldername") { 

   //What to display 

   } 

   } 

   ?>

I don't know why it's not sending the select and username variables.  Can someone please guide me through this?
