I have a html table with something like this:
<table class="notices-table" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<% foreach my $notice (@regular_posts) { %>
<form method = "post" id = "post-form-<%= $notice->notice_id()%>">
<tr class = "click-post" href = "<%= $notice->link() %>">
<td><b>Date Posted: </b> <%= '' . (split(/\./, $notice->created()))[0] %><br/>
<b>Title: </b><%= $notice->title() %><br/><br/>
<%= $notice->content() %>
</td>
<td><button class = "archive-button" id="archive-button">Archive</button></td>
</tr>
<input type="hidden" id="action" name="action" value="archive" />
</form>
<% } %>
</table>
and then I have a javascript code that triggers when the "archive" button is hit for each that atempts to retrieve the "notice_id":
$(document).ready(function() {
$('button.archive-button').bind('click', function() {
var id = $(this).attr('id');
var parts = id.split(/-/);
var notice_id = parts[2];
var post_form_id = '#post-form-' + notice_id;
$(post_form_id).submit();
var path_name = window.location.pathname;
$.ajax(path_name, {
type: 'POST'
data: {
'notice_id2' : notice_id
},
success: function(data) {
console.log('/takeNotice called successfully:');
console.log(data);
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, err) {
console.error('/takeNotice call failed:');
console.error(err);
}
});
return false;
});
});
I want to pass the "notice_id" into a Perl script which will use the id to retrieve the correct post from the database so that it will archive it:
my $cgi = CGI->new;
my $notice_id = $cgi->param("notice_id2");
my $form = $Request->Params();
my $notice;
eval {
$notice = Taskman::Notice->new(notice_id => $notice_id);
};
I'm pretty new to Perl and Javascript/Ajax so I probably have more problems in here. Any insight would be great. Thanks
EDITED I've made some modifications to my code. Ajax seems to be working but I cant tell if I am still invoking it right or not. The scripts are on the same page. I am still retrieving the wrong "notice_id"
There's nothing fundamentally wrong with your approach, but you're not invoking $.ajax
correctly, which will prevent anything from working.
Specifically, you're not providing a URL for your Perl script. For the sake of example, I'll assume your Perl script lives at the path /takeNotice
(clever, no?). You would call it like this:
$.ajax('/takeNotice', {
type: 'POST',
data: {
notice_id2 : notice_id
},
success: function(data) {
console.log('/takeNotice called successfully:');
console.log(data);
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, err) {
console.error('/takeNotice call failed:');
console.error(err);
}
});
The success
and error
functions are not strictly necessary, but it's a good idea to include them, and certainly when you're learning, it really helps understand the flow of your front-end logic.
Speaking of which, you should probably also add some error handling to this code:
var parts = id.split(/-/);
var notice_id = parts[2];
var post_form_id = '#post-form-' + notice_id;
If the ID is not in the format you expect it to be, you will end up with a post_form_id
of "#post-form-undefined
. Some error handling and console logging would be useful here.
Lastly, this line does nothing:
$(post_form_id '#action').val('archive');
If you're trying to set the value, you need a second parameter. If you're trying to get the value, you should probably assign it to something.
