  • are you saying delete.php is not being requested or that the id param is not being sent to delete.php? – JeremyWeir Jun 21 '12 at 00:43
  • My first suggestion would be to use a browser which has a Console (Firefox & Firebug or Chrome) and insert a line `console.log( "ID = "+this.id );` the line before `jQuery.get('delete.php'...`. This will allow you to see what, if any, ID value is being picked up and sent to your delete.php script. – Luke Stevenson Jun 21 '12 at 04:19
  • @JeremyWeir delete.php is not being requested, but it could be because the id param is not being sent, right? – user1470755 Jun 21 '12 at 12:41
  • Maybe a JS error is killing it. Is delete.php in the same directory as the page that is requesting it (I ask since you have a relative path)? – JeremyWeir Jun 21 '12 at 16:06
  • @JeremyWeir the path was incorrect – user1470755 Jun 21 '12 at 23:17
  • haha, delete this question then. We don't need it on the internet :) – JeremyWeir Jun 22 '12 at 21:03

It's not clear exactly what attribute you want to send, but it looks like it's the element's id. If so, here's where the correction is:

jQuery.get('delete.php', { id:this.id });

should be

jQuery.get('delete.php', { id:jQuery(this).attr('id') });

So you'll send the id attribute of the element.

If that's still not working, you may have the incorrect path of the delete script...chrome dev tools or firebug would tell you this.

  • You can access the id without invoking the jQuery object. (In fact, it is slightly faster to use `this.id` rather than `jQuery(this).attr('id')`). So this is an incorrect solution. -- See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4651923/when-to-use-vanilla-javascript-vs-jquery – Luke Stevenson Jun 21 '12 at 04:16
  • True. That slipped my mind. Should have gone into the second part of my answer a bit more :) – unceus Jun 22 '12 at 04:25
