@JohnB that's what I'm thinking. Just not grasping how to send the data back correctly. But that's why I bought the video courses :) It's just one of those things that once I "get" it, things will be fine. But finding that epiphany moment can be troublesome. Hopefully the video lessons will strike a chord.
Bascially.. I need to do all data manipulation in the php and configure the array to hold the data how I want it.. then spit out the array via JSON, right?
and then I can decode the JSON back on page? correct?
Thanks. I just wast getting the "Push the data as an array into the JSON array". That simple thing makes sense and I think was the step I was not getting. Knowing I have to construct an array containing the data as I want it is very helpful.
actually I was looking at codeacademy too but for jQuery refresher
also working on what I should do tonight. I am really tired and I cant seem to sleep much lately but I when I get home I wont be able to sleep because I have ideas to execute.
