I'm attempting to send a variable through jQuery using the POST method, saving it in a controller, and then utilizing that same variable in Rails HTML to query a table.
It seems like the variable isn't being passed to the controller.
jQuery:
var id = 1;
$.post("http://localhost:3000/teamplayers", {'ids': ids});
Teamplayers controller:
def index
@teamplayers = Teamplayer.all
@ids = params[:id]
end
Rails HTML:
<select id = "test3" style= float:right size= 10>
<% Teamplayer.find_each(:conditions => "teamid = @ids") do |tp| %>
<option> <%#<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="7944390d1c1814091518001c0b57'>[email protected]</a> %></option>
<option>Players on team 1</option>
<% end %>
</select>
Also, I attempted to use the Ajax method below but it redirected my page within the designated tag.
Ajax:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
$.ajax({url:"http://localhost:3000/teamplayers",success:function(result){
$('#div1').text(result);
}});
});
});
Where am I going wrong with my use of POST or Ajax?
