I have a functional use website (not for public use, just a website that provides a means to an end) in which I have a table that is being populated/updated every 5 seconds through an AJAX call to my database.
What I want to happen is that when I click on a checkbox (which is in one of the cells of my table), it adds a class to that row. except it just does not like the fact the data is coming from AJAX, I have tried putting a sample static table in, and that works fine, but the same information as an AJAX table just does nothing.
I checked this link and that didn't respond to my actions either, the JS code I have provided below is the one I have been using which worked on the static table
JS/AJAX
<script> function getMessage(){ var xmlhttp; xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function(){ if(xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200){ var res = xmlhttp.responseText; $('#message tr:first').after(res); } } xmlhttp.open("GET","ajax/message.php",true); xmlhttp.send(); }; </script> JS Code I have been using to highlight
$(document).ready(function() { $('#lectern_message tr') .filter(':has(:checkbox:checked)') .addClass('selected') .end() .click(function(event) { $(this).toggleClass('viewing'); if (event.target.type !== 'checkbox') { $(':checkbox', this).attr('checked', function() { return !this.checked; }); } }); }); Example Table through AJAX
<table id="message" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <th>Speaker</th> <th>Question</th> <th>Time</th> <th>View</th> </tr> <td class="name">Mr A</td> <td class="message">Hi</td> <td class="date">11:14:12</td> <td class="view"><input type="checkbox" value="no"></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="name">Mr B</td> <td class="message">Hello</td> <td class="date">10:32:36</td> <td class="view"><input type="checkbox" value="no"></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="name">Mr C</td> <td class="message">Question</td> <td class="date">10:32:18</td> <td class="view"><input type="checkbox" value="no"></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="name">Mr D</td> <td class="message">Hi</td> <td class="date">10:30:53</td> <td class="view"><input type="checkbox" value="no"></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Sorry for the massive amounts of code, thought I would provide the key parts, the message.php file that is mentioned is just a call to retrieve all the records from my database, but that part of it works fine. If anyone can give me a hand that would be a massive help, many thanks
