Really basic ajax question

[fshaw]

I am very new to javascript and ajax and have to get started in the very basic ajax script from my javascript.

Here is my javascript function:

How do i get started with the ajax ?

<script type="text/javascript"> function process_selected(form)     {   
                           
             alert('This is working!');   

                            
             form.submit();   
}   

</script> 

This is above my javascript function how do I setup some ajax to handshake between my javascript and a server side php function which is below.

trap_calandar_jump($jump) 

{ 

            switch ($jump) { 

    case 1: 

        // Logic here  Jump drop down 1 

        break; 

    case 2: 

        // Logic here Jump drop down 2     the $me value = '2' 

        break; 

    case 3: 

        // Logic here Jump drop down 3 

        break; 

}//switch 

 return $something; 

} 

Please help me get started by explaining how to get stsrted setting up my javascript to handshake with my php function using ajax.

I suggest you learn about ajax and how it interacts with php, rather than I just give you the answer and you not understand it. Here are some tutorials: http://www.tizag.com/ajaxTutorial/ http://www.learn-ajax-tutorial.com/
