In order to avoid the tedium of spelling out each extra variable, I modded submitToList() to just grab every non-submit form input and serialized it all using jQuery’s serializeArray() function.

On submit, the wee loader graphic displays for a little while but I don’t get any response? Nothing showing in Firebug either for the GET response.

What it sounds like to me is that your form that you have on the page isn’t getting wired into the ajax actions correctly. If you look in example.html, you will notice that, after including two javascript files, it has a third javascript section. That section actually attaches an “on submit” action to the form so that it knows to dispatch an ajax request. This should actually stop the page from refreshing. Even without it, it should work, but the action of your form may not be set correctly. The action of the form should point at the announceListHandler.php file itself (in case someone has javascript disabled).

The debug flag will actually cause the ajax to not work correctly for feedback, but will give you the exact request it sent and got back. This is very useful to see if a bad request was generated locally or if the remote server has more information to help. With debug=true on, you should just submit the form (or an example form) to the php file directly and see if it returns with a success return code. If you are using an ajax call for that, i would suggest using something like firebug (firefox extension) to watch the exact return text of the ajax call (under the net tab i think).

If that doesn’t work, hopefully you can at least get the debug output and we can start debugging that.

hope that helps

PS. The images for the header of your current site are quite nice

I am trying to use this in a wordpress theme. I have had to do a few extra steps: putting the js files in the right place and correctly linking to them; changing links like these:

into links like these:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/sarissa.js”>

i’m now at the point where the page refreshes when I submit the form, but I don’t know what’s going on and I’m not getting any feedback. I haven’t gotten any confirmation emails via the DH cgi script, so I know it hasn’t made it that far.

I changed “$debug = true;” in the announceListHandler.php file, but I’m still not getting feedback.

Since you know your code better than I, and are clearly more skilled with ajax, is there anything else that you think I should do?

Thanks!
