jQuery Ajax: return value to caller?

Question

I have some jQuery code. I have called an Ajax function file, file.php, that has some fields, like:

Milk

        

Answer 1

The success function takes a parameter, which contains the fetched data. So in your example:

$(document).ready(
    function(){ $.ajax({
       type:"GET",
       url:"file.php",
       data:id,
       success:function(txt){
          $.prompt( txt,{ opacity: 0.2 });
       },
       // ... more ...
    }
});

More examples are in the jQuery documentation.

Answer 2

jQuery.ajax({
     type:"POST",
     url:"file.php",
     data:"id1="+val1+"&id2="+val2,
     success:function(data){
       jQuery("#div_id").html(data);
    }
