Html Ajax button not doing anything

im sure this is something obvious but I cant figure it out
onclick of button retrieveScoreButton my button is simply not doing anything
any help is appreciated, im attempting to append the data to a table but cant even get it to register the clicking of the button so I cant test the function showsccore
<button id="addScoreButton">Add score</button>
<button id="retrieveScoreButton">Retrieve all scores</button>
<br>
<div id="Scores">
<ul id="scoresList">
</ul>
</div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#addScoreButton").click(function () {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
data: $('form').serialize(),
url: '/addScore',
success: added,
error: showError
}
);
}
);
});
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#retrieveScoreButton").click(function () {
console.log(id);
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
dataType: "json",
url: "/allScores",
success: alert("success"),
error: showError
}
);
}
);
});
function showScores(responseData) {
$.each(responseData.matches, function (scores) {
$("#scoresList").append("<li type='square'>" +
"Home Team " + matches.Home_Team +
"Away Team: " + matches.Away_Team +
"Home: " + scores.Home_Score +
"Away: " + scores.Away_Score
);
}
);
}
function showError() {
alert("failure");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

There are a couple things wrong here:
console.log(id);
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
dataType: "json",
url: "/allScores",
success: alert("success"),
error: showError
});
First, you never defined id. (After some comments on the question it turns out your browser console is telling you that.) What are you trying to log? You may as well just remove that line entirely.
Second, what are you expecting here?: success: alert("success") What's going to happen here is the alert() is going to execute immediately (before the AJAX call is even sent) and then the result of the alert (which is undefined) is going to be your success handler. You need a handler function to be invoked after the AJAX response, and that function can contain the alert.
Something like this:
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
dataType: "json",
url: "/allScores",
success: function() { alert("success"); },
error: showError
});
(To illustrate the difference, compare your current success handler with your current error handler. One of them invokes the function with parentheses, the other does not. You don't want to invoke a handler function right away, you want to set it as the handler to be invoked later if/when that event occurs.)

Ajax execute only once inside an event

I have created a widget that displays a html template fetched with an ajax request to the server. I want to refresh the template clicking on a <p> element of the template. However when I click on it, it refreshes the template only once, then, if I try to click again, the event does not respond, it does not execute the request again. This is my code, if someone has any idea what I am doing wrong.
/******** Our main function ********/
function main() {
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
var widget_url = "/home/widget?callback=MyCallbackFunction"
$.ajax({
url: "/home/widget",
type: "GET",
dataType: "jsonp",
jsonp: "callback",
success: function (data) {
$('#example-widget-container').html(data.html);
$("#panel-sidebar-icon").on("click", function () {
$.ajax({
url: "/home/widget",
type: "GET",
dataType: "jsonp",
jsonp: "callback",
cache: false,
success: function (data) {
$('#example-widget-container').html(data.html);
}
});
});
}
});
});
}
The template example:
<aside>
<p id="panel-sidebar-icon">Click </p>
<ul>
<li>.... </li>
</ul>
</aside>

events attached to DOM elements are lost when you replace the container html, so.
change this
$("#panel-sidebar-icon").on("click", function () {
to this
$("body").on("click", "#panel-sidebar-icon", function () {

maybe because you create a new DOM object so the event goes with the erasure. You should update simple datas on the element or recreate the same component+event associated to it

Form submitting to wrong function when changing class dynamically

I'm sure there's a simple explanation for this but I haven't been able to find the right words to use when searching for answers.
When users fill out the form .InvoiceForm it submits via Ajax. After it's submitted remove the .InvoiceForm class and add .UpdateInvoice. When a user submits a .UpdateInvoice form it explains that they are about to make a change and they have to click to say "Yes I want this to be updated".
The issue is that unless I refresh the page so that the form is loaded with the .UpdateInvoice form, I don't get the confirmation which means it's still submitting as a .InvoiceForm form. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Edit to show code:
Code that runs if there's no record
$('.InvoiceForm').submit(function(e) {
$.ajax({
url: $(this).attr('action'),
type: 'POST',
cache: false,
dataType: 'json',
context: this,
data: $(this).serialize(),
beforeSend: function() {
$(".validation-errors").hide().empty();
},
success: function(data) {
$(this).removeClass('InvoiceForm');
$(this).addClass('UpdateInvoice');
$(this).find('.btn').val('Update');
$(this).find('.id').val(data.invoice_id);
$(this).find('.btn').removeClass('btn-default');
$(this).find('.btn').addClass('btn-danger');
$(this).find('.AddRow').removeClass('hide');
$(this).find('.invoiceDetails').html(data.returnedData);
$(this).parent().next().find('.grade').focus();
}
});
return false;
};
Code that runs if there is a record being updated
$('.UpdateInvoice').submit(function(){
var r = confirm("Are you sure you want to make this update?");
if (r == true) {
$.ajax({
url: $(this).attr('action'),
type: 'POST',
cache: false,
dataType: 'json',
context: this,
data: $(this).serialize(),
beforeSend: function() {
$(".validation-errors").hide().empty();
},
success: function(data) {
alert('This row has been updated');
$(this).find('.total').html(data);
}
});
} else {
}
return false;
});
The function for .UpdateInvoice doesn't run unless I refresh the page.
Thanks for your help.

You bind a click event on '.UpdateInvoce' before it even being created, hence it'll not work. I think you need to use .live() in order to make it works. See document here: jQuery's live()
HTML:
<button id="click_me" class="new">Click Me</button>
<div class="result" />
Script:
$(function () {
$('.new').click(function (e) {
$('.result').text("Im new !");
$(this).removeClass("new");
$(this).addClass("update");
// Bind UpdateInvoice's click event on the fly
$('.update').live(bindUpdate());
});
function bindUpdate() {
$('.update').click(function (e) {
$('.result').text("Update me !");
});
}
});

Submit form for php without refreshing page

I've search for many solution but without success.
I have a html form;
<form id="objectsForm" method="POST">
<input type="submit" name="objectsButton" id="objectsButton">
</form>
This is used for a menu button.
I'm using jquery to prevent the site from refreshing;
$('#objectsForm').on('submit', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: '/php/objects.php',
data: $('#objectsForm').serialize(),
success: function () {
alert('success');
}
});
});
In my php file I try to echo text to the body of my site;
<?php
if (isset($_POST["objectsButton"])){
echo '<div id="success"><p>objects</p></div>';
} else {
echo '<div id="fail"><p>nope</p></div>';
}
?>
I know the path to my php file is correct, but it doesn't show anything? Not even the "fail div".
Does anyone has a solution for me?
Thanks in advance!

The success function takes two parameters. The first parameter is what is returned from the php file. Try changing it to:
success: function (xhr){ alert(xhr);}

Based in your php source..
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
dataType: "html", // Receive html content
url: '/php/objects.php',
data: $('#objectsForm').serialize(),
success: function (result) {
$('#divResult').html(result);
}
});

PHP scripts run on the server, that means any echo you do won't appear at the user's end.
Instead of echoing the html just echo a json encoded success/ failure flag e.g. 0 or 1.
You'll be able to get that value in your success function and use jQuery to place divs on the web page.
PHP:
<?php
if (isset($_POST["objectsButton"])){
echo json_encode(1); // for success
} else {
echo json_encode(0); // for failure
}
?>
jQuery:
var formData = $('#objectsForm').serializeArray();
formData.push({name:this.name, value:this.value });
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: '/php/objects.php',
dataType: 'json',
data: formData,
success: function (response) {
if (response == 1) {
alert('success');
} else {
alert('fail');
}
}
});
EDIT:
To include the button, try using the following (just before the $.ajax block, see above):
formData.push({name:this.name, value:this.value });
Also, have the value attribute for your button:
<input type="submit" name="objectsButton" value="objectsButton" id="objectsButton">

Hide a div when ajax returns nothing

I have an ajax function that loads 1 news at time everytime the user clicks on "load more".
It works like a facebook pagination.
The problem is: when it reachs the end of my database, it doesn't load anything else so I would like to remove the link "load more" when it happens but I couldn't do it.
Here's my JS function:
function loadNews(pageLimit){
var dataString = 'pageLimit='+ pageLimit;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "ajaxnovidades.php",
data: dataString,
cache: false,
success: function(result){
$("#maisnews").hide();
$("#maisupdates").append(result);
}
});
}
loadNews('0');
I have tried to check if result is empty (result=="") and then hide() the #maisnews div, which is the one with the "load more" link but it doesn't work...
Any help?!

Try this:
if ( ! $.trim(result).length ) $('#maisnews').hide();

You can try something like:
function loadNews(pageLimit){
var dataString = 'pageLimit='+ pageLimit;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "ajaxnovidades.php",
data: dataString,
cache: false,
success: function(result){
if($.trim(result).length==0){
//$(element).hide()
$("#maisnews").hide();
}else{
$("#maisupdates").append(result);
}
}
});
}
loadNews('0');
