I am attempting to update the "refresh" div after clicking the Submit button and also at regular intervals of 5 seconds. Despite looking through various resources, I have not been able to find a solution that meets my requirements.
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<?php
echo '<div id="refresh">';
while ($r = $q->fetch()):
echo 'Sender: ';
if($r['senderid'] == $a) {echo $query1['username'];}
elseif($r['senderid'] == $b) {echo $query2['username'];}
echo '</br>';
echo $r['message'];
echo '</br></br>';
endwhile;
echo '</div>';
?>
<form method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="a" value="<?php echo $a;?>">
<input type="hidden" name="b" value="<?php echo $b;?>">
<textarea name="message" rows="3" cols="30"></textarea><br><br>
<input id="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<script>
$(document).ready( function() {
$("form").on("submit", function(e) {
e.preventDefault(); // Prevent default form submission
$.post("submit.php", $("form").serialize()); // Post the data
$('textarea[name=message]').val('')
});
});
</script>
