[this video] This video is a good intro. When he talks about using /api/orders, you would instead use a php file of your own that would look something like ` ` Obviously, that is simplified and you would need to define the code that gets the cities given the timezone through $_POST. I know this may sound confusing at first, but just Google things, and you will get it. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions you can't find an answer to. @SasukeScend

To achieve your goal, you need to use Ajax from the form page to request to the current page without reloading. I advise you to use jQuery to correctly implement that. This link jQuery Ajax [LINK] will demonstrate how to use the form post without reloading the page. This YouTube video might also help you out: jQuery Ajax Tutorial [this video] . One thing to remember is that if you want to send your POST request without the page reloading, you need to add this when you start your function: $(".submit_button").click(function(e){ e.preventDefault(); // This will disable the auto refresh after a form submit $.ajax({ // Your Ajax Code... }) })

I'm a complete newbie, so maybe some answers have to be a bit explained. I'm trying to make a small html page that contains a JSON string. The page is hosted by Arduino on my local network (tested and working). To retrieve info from the JSON string, I've followed a video tutorial of jQuery: JSON AJAX jQuery tutorial [this video] So, I adapt the sketch a little to my needs, but it finally bugs. In the console, I can see that I get the JSON, but in the page, the value is shown as "undefined". Here is the code: $(function(){ var $channels = $('#channels'); //store array $.ajax({ type: 'GET', url: ' [LINK] ', success: function(channels){ $.each(channels, function(i, channel){ $channels.append('<p>cha

I'm trying out some jQuery / AJAX tutorials; specifically this one: [this video] He has is external API returning the following JSON (and it works!): [ { name: 'john', drink: 'coffee' }, { name: 'jack', drink: 'latte' } ] But when I try that locally (running http-server) I keep getting errors saying: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'length' in [ { name: 'john', drink: 'coffee' }, { name: 'jack', drink: 'latte' } ] But when I put everything in double quotes, I no longer get any errors (makes sense, since now it is valid JSON): [ { "name": "john", "drink": "coffee" }, { "name": "jack", "drink": "latte" } } The next issue then was that my code doesn't get any of the data.

Hi I am trying to learn Ajax, and I want to get data from a local API that I made. So far I have a file called data.json in the same directory as all my other files. The data contains information like this: { "username": bob900, "email": "bob@gmail.com", "password": "apples123" } I want to be able to use this file as a link in my Ajax so I want to make a route for it. Something like [LINK] . So far I have tried making a route for it with flask like: @app.route("/data") def api(): return data.json However, when I try accessing the link it takes me to an internal server error page. To understand more of what I am trying to do you can look at the youtube video: [this video] and go to 2:59. I am tryi
