    Hi,

    I would like to ask or request to anybody to create a simple script using ajax to update a status without reloading the page. To give you an idea it's just like facebook's status update. If anyone here would like to share their knowledge then thanks in advance. :D

    Use Jquery for this, it is alot easier.

    Assumptions:
    1.You have a textarea or field with id="updater"
    2. You have a button or link with onclick="updatestatus()"


    What the code does:
    1. Jquery code Posts the value of updater to a php page
    2. PHP page gets the update and does something then echos 1
    3. Jquery code sees the 1 and the declares a success

    Javascript
    
<head>
<script type="text/JavaScript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.js"></script>
 <script type="text/JavaScript">
function updatestatus()
{
var updatetext = $("#updater").val();

$.post("updatestatus.php", {
	message: updatetext
	},
	function(data)
		{
		if (data == 1)
			{
			$("#updater").val("");
			$("#updatesuccess").fadeIn("slow").append("<div id=\"noerror\">Your Update Has Been Submitted</div>");
			
			}
		});
}
</script>
</head>
    Code (markup):
    PHP
    
$msg = $_POST["message"];

if ($msg)
{
// Do something
echo 1;
}
    PHP:
