Answer 1

There are two syntax errors in your ajax call:

$(document).ready(function(){
    function showRoom(){
        $.ajax({
            type:"POST",
            url:"process.php",
            data:{action:"showroom"},
            success:function(data){
                $("#content").html(data);
            }
        });
    }
    showRoom();
});

Keep in mind that jQuery's ajax expects an object as parameter. Inside an object the syntax is

{ key : value }

You had type="POST" which is correct in declarative syntax, but incorrect when defining an object key.

Second, the data property of the aforementioned object should be an object too. So instead of action=showroom it should be

{action:"showroom"}

Answer 2

you did mistake in your code:

 echo "<li>$row['name']</li>";

This should be:

 echo "<li>".$row['name']."</li>";

try that...
