I have a working Ajax utilized by JQuery and am changing what is listed on the page via a JSON response.
It works perfectly with text, however, now I plan to use the same code but have a video displayed instead where for example the mpg is displayed. However, it simply displays the text of the embed code from youtube instead.
Html page which gets JSON response:
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#submitbutton").click(function()
{
$.ajax(
{
url: "https://example.com/jsonServer.php",
type: "GET",
dataType: "jsonp",
jsonp: "callback",
data: { carselection: $("#carselection").val()},
success: function(data)
{
if(data.name == "error")
{
$("#outputcarname").text("There is no such car available"),
$("#price").text(" "),
$("#mpg").text(" ");
}
else
{
$("#outputcarname").text(data.name),
$("#price").text(data.price),
$("#mpg").text(data.mpg);
}
},
error: function()
{
$("#outputcarname").text("There is a problem with the server"),
$("#price").text(" "),
$("#mpg").text(" ");
}
});
return false;
});
});
</script>
JSON Server:
*note that I have replaced one of the mpg's with embed code straight from youtube, and again, this embed code displays exactly as is in the mpg area.
<?php
$cars = array('Maxima' => array('price' => '$32,780', 'mpg' => '24'),
'Prius' => array('price' => '$25,565', 'mpg' => '49'),
'Element' => array('price' => '$22,075', 'mpg' => '<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/enXTiYWQl-0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>'));
if(array_key_exists($_GET['carselection'], $cars))
{
$carname = $_GET['carselection'];
$results = array('name' => $carname, 'price' => $cars[$carname]['price'], 'mpg' => $cars[$carname]['mpg']);
}
else
{
$results = array('name' => 'error');
}
$callback = htmlentities($_GET['callback'], ENT_QUOTES);
print $callback . '(' . json_encode($results) . ')';
?>
My hope was that the browser would accept the tags and display the video obviously, however I would guess the jquery.text is keeping it as truly text. Perhaps there is another function I am unaware of that I should be using?
