javascript - Chaining functions: Creating .post variable from on click event in JQuery -

i'm attempting create post value on click event.

from here:

$(document).ready(function(){ $("div").click(function(){ var pastdate = $(this).text(); alert(pastdate); }); //end click }); //end ready

i've tried numerous variations on next code in effort post variable work missing critical.

$(document).ready(function(){ $("div").click(function(){ var pastdate = $(this).text.post("calendarfunction.php", function() { alert("success"); }) .done(function() { alert("second success"); }) .fail(function() { alert("error" ); }) .always(function() { alert("finished"); }); });

the error console telling me have undefined object. can show me how prepare this?

you've gotten pastdate have send post request.

http://api.jquery.com/jquery.post/

the sec param of jquery.post info sent

var pastdate = $(this).text() $.post('url', pastdate, function() { });

what sort of info php script expecting? key expecting might need key post value

var info = { yourkey: pastdate } $.post('url', data, function() {});

javascript jquery post
