$.get ajax and storing in a variable....

[dniwebdesign]

ATM, I have:

$.get("../ajax/Invoices.php?function=getCreditcustomerid="+clientid, function(busy) {
	alert(busy);
}
);

Which, in turns alerts nothing. Not very spectacular. The ajax is suppose to return the credit (ie: +6.25 or -105.23) or debt the client has.

I would like to store this in a variable so I can manipulate it and add it to other sections of the page (as this is a page for creating an invoice). However I am having no luck, after searching through the api and tutorials. This seemed to the be way to do it but alas I say again. Alerts nothing. Any idea what I am doing wrong and how to make it right. Thanks.

Note: I am using jQuery.

Seems to work fine on my end. Are you sure you're tossing in the proper get variables for your script to return anything? I'm guessing that you need an ampersand somewhere in there:

"../ajax/Invoices.php?function=getCredit&customerid="+clientid,

Then again, I might be wrong, but... you do know that jQuery get can also send the required variables on it's own too, right? You could always try the following:

$.get('../ajax/Invoices.php',
	{
		function: 'getCredit',
		customerid: clientid
	}, 
	function(busy) {
		alert(busy);
	}
)

See how that works for you. Additionally, consider getting FireBug and seeing exactly what the php script throws back your way.

After all the searching, frustration, face palming, it was just because I missed the ampersand. Guess I should have gone to bed earlier...

I'll keep the other method in mind as I will be calling other things as well. Thanks for your help.
