JavaScript JQuery JSON updating sql

[richarddunnebsc]

I am trying to update an league table with game scores. On game start 0-0, games played, games drawn and pts won increase 1 for both teams. After a team scores, one team's draw becomes a win and gets 2 more points, goals for increases by 1, the other team's draw becomes a loss and loses a point, goals against increases by 1. I am trying to send the teams and scores to php for processing.

This is my code:
As far as dataType seems to be working. Any help appreciated.

document.getElementById("Home1Goals").innerText = 0;
    document.getElementById("Away1Goals").innerText = 0;
    $(document).on("click", "#Week1Game1Start", function() {
        $.ajax({
                method: "POST",
                url:    "Operations.php",
                data: {"Week1Game1Home": "Home1Goals", "Week1Game1Away": "Away1Goals"},
                dataType:"json",
                
                success: function(data)
                {
                    var result = JSON.parse(data);
                    alert(parsedJSON.canApprove);
                    if(data.statusCode==200)
                    {
                        alert('success');
                                            
                    }
                }
                });


            });

I should make a macro for this because I must have said it 5 billion times. Jquery without the HTML is worthless,

But what you did give us says you are sending data that you don't define. Where are Home1Goals and Away1Goals defined?
As of jQuery 3.0, $.parseJSON is deprecated. Note the dollar sign and dot preface.
Where do you post this on the site?

The data are the names of html data cells containing team names and goals scored by each team.

<td style="width: 200px; text-align: center;" name="Week1Game1Home" >Home Team</td>
<td name="Home1Goals" id="Home1Goals" style="width: 20px;"></td>
<td name="Away1Goals" id="Away1Goals" style="width: 20px;"></td>
<td style="width: 200px; text-align: center;" name="Week1Game1Away">Away Team</td>

With some help I got the JQuery/JSON working to the extent the call is failing. I'm using wamp (localhost). As all the files I'm using are in the same folder, is the php file name enough for the url?

Why would you do that? I can't think of one instance when a PHP script would use that information sent to it nor use it.

For the life of me, I can't see that happening with the code you posted. Why not show the new code. I'm interested in how Jq is placing the returned info to the DIVs.
