Jquery/PHP: Javascript function fails to run

Question

excuse my poor titling skills. I wish to run a simple javascript function that for now only returns an echo from a php page. I have linked to the function and it gets to the function but fails to complete. I don't think i have anything noticeably wrong with the code but nothing happens.

Javascript function:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function PopulateBoxes(){
        $.post('PopulateBoxes.php', {date: SelectTourForm.lst_MonthDrop.value },
            function(output){
                $('#txt_Duration').hmtl(output).show();
            }
        ); 
    }
</script>

PopulateBoxes.php:

<?php
    echo "This is a test";
?>

The drop down menu:

<form id="SelectTourForm" style="margin:5px;">
    <table border="0" align="center" width="100%">
        <tr>
            <td>
                <label style="color:#FFF; font:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size:20px; margin-left:10px; margin-top:25px">Select Tours Details</label>
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>
                <select name="lst_MonthDrop" style="background-color:#FF9933; color:#FFF; border:none; margin-top:10px; margin-left:10px;" onchange="PopulateBoxes();">
                    <option>Please Select</option>
                    <?php 
                    include 'populatedrodown.php';
                    foreach ( $results as $option ) :
                    ?>
                        <option value="<?php echo $option->Date; ?>"><?php echo $option->Date; ?></option>
                    <?php endforeach; ?>
                </select>
                <input type="submit" name="btn_TourSearch" id="btn_TourSearch" value="Search" style="background:#009300; border-radius:5px; border-color:#009300; color:#FFF;margin-left:5px;" />
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
</form>

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Your error was at SelectTourForm.lst_MonthDrop.value, used as is, JavaScript does not recognized it.

I tested this for your reference and worked: As lst_MonthDrop only has name, having no id, we get its value by:

$("select[name=lst_MonthDrop]").val()

Here is the test structure:

<html>
<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
function PopulateBoxes(){
 $.post('PopulateBoxes.php',
   {date: $("select[name=lst_MonthDrop]").val()},
   function(output){
     $('#txt_Duration').html(output).show();
   }); 

}

$(document).ready(function () {
    // just for test
  PopulateBoxes();

});
</script>
</head>
<body>

<div id="txt_Duration"></div>
<?php
// your form here...
?>    

</body>
</html>

I got this screenshot:

Answer 2

problems:

1: hmtl should be html

2: SelectTourForm.lst_MonthDrop.value should be $("select[name=lst_MonthDrop]").val()

3: There is no element with id txt_Duration in your shown html. Create it.

4: populatedrodown.php is likely to be misspelled. Missing a letter p ?
