This is my table.
<table id="project-table" class="table table-striped table-inverse table-responsive">
<caption>Projects</caption>
<thead class="thead-inverse">
<tr>
<th scope="col">#</th>
<th scope="col">Project name</th>
<th scope="col">Description</th>
<th scope="col">Estimated time (min)</th>
<th scope="col">Actual time (min)</th>
<th scope="col">Add task</th>
<th scope="col">Delete project</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="project-body">
</tbody>
</table>
This table is filled with data from an AJAX call.
$.ajax({
method: 'GET',
dataType: 'json',
data: {
functionToCall: 'project',
},
url: 'http://localhost/WBS/php/api/requests/get.php',
success: (response) => {
// from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/733314/jquery-loop-over-json-result-from-ajax-success
$.each(response, function () {
$.each(this, function (index, value) {
$('#project-body').append(
`
<tr>
<td>
<input class="form-control" type="hidden" name="projectid" id="projectid" value="${value.projectid}">
</td>
<td>
<input class="form-control" type="text" name="projectName" id="projectName" value="${value.title}">
</td>
<td>
<input class="form-control" type="text" name="description" id="description" value="${value.description}">
</td>
<td>
<input class="form-control" type="text" name="estimatedTime" id="estimatedTime" value="${value.Estimated_time}">
</td>
<td>
<input class="form-control" type="text" name="actualTime" id="actualTime" value="${value.Actual_time}">
</td>
<td>
<a id="addTask" class="btn btn-info" href="Overview.html?id=${value.projectid}" role="button">
<i class="fa fa-angle-right" aria-hidden="true"> </i> Add task
</a>
</td>
<td>
<button type="button" id="deleteProject" name="deleteProject" class="btn btn-danger">
<i class="fa fa-angle-right" aria-hidden="true"> </i> Delete project
</button>
</td>
</tr>
`
);
});
});
},
error: () => {
console.error('Something went wrong with the getProjects function');
},
});
}
I would like to use the value from this input, to be used in a AJAX delete request.
<td>
<input class="form-control" type="hidden" name="projectid" id="projectid" value="${value.projectid}">
</td>
The code I use to get said ID is this
let id = $(this).closest('tr').find('#projectid').val();
But debugging this in my browser returns undefined
.
I tried changing the ajax url to a hardcoded value and the data is received at the back-end.
