What is the PHP variable here? You can send anything you want to the pop-up.

Hi Jay - I'm not sure I am able to do what I want to do.

I want to display dynamic content in a popup window. My plans were to have a single popup windwo (Jquery) called with dynamic content provided by a PHP variable but since the PHP executes before the Jquery I don't think it will work?

The alternative approach is to have jquery code for each popup I want to have. So within a PHP loop I would repeatredly create the popup with Jquery but this seems less efficient - but it does work!

Which approach would you suggest?

Johnny.

1. function get2() {
2.       var main_occupancy = $('input[name="main_occupancy\\[\\]"]:checked').
3.             map(function(i, elem) { return $(this).val(); }).get(); //gets array
4.       alert(main_occupancy); //alerts array to screen for error checking purposes
5.       $.post('data2.php', {main_occupancy: main_occupancy}, //sends variable back to php file
6.             function(output) {
7.                   $('#input16').html(output).show(); //returns data to <div id="input16"> on original page
8.             });}

Hi Mark - it's a little simpler than that.

The data is provided from a few SQL quaeries, so no user input is required. I query the database and each row/record provides the data for each popup?

Does make it easier to accomplish?

John.

Put something like this in your pop-up:

$('#popup-div').load('foo.php');

If the PHP returns different results every time this will work.

Thanks - what is 'foo.php'

Is this an extenal file that will grab the data?

Thanks.

Yes - that would be your PHP file.
