Insert a Record with animation slide down effect using jQuery and Ajax.

Few days back I had posted tutorial "Insert and Load Record using jQuery and Ajax". Today's post new feature added animated Slide Down effect apply to every upcoming post.


Download Script     Live Demo

Database Table Details:

Take a look at old post Insert and Load Record using jQuery and Ajax.

insert.php
Contains javascript and HTML code update button with class "update_button" and textarea with id "content". When a user click update button the new message is display to top of the ol timeline list with an id "update" with an animated slide Down effect with jQuery and Ajax.

If you want fadeIn effect just replace the code "slideDown" to "fadeIn"
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/
libs/jquery/1.3.0/jquery.min.js
">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" >
$(function() {
$(".update_button").click(function() {

var boxval = $("#content").val();
var dataString = 'content='+ boxval;

if(boxval=='')
{
alert("Please Enter Some Text");
}
else
{
$("#flash").show();
$("#flash").fadeIn(400).html('<img src="ajax-loader.gif" align="absmiddle"> <span class="loading">Loading Comment...</span>');

$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "demo.php",
data: dataString,
cache: false,
success: function(html){
$("ol#update").prepend(html);
$("ol#update li:first").slideDown("slow");
document.getElementById('content').value='';
document.getElementById('content').focus();
$("#flash").hide();
}
});
} return false;
});
});
</script>
// HTML code
<div>
<form method="post" name="form" action="">
<h3>What are you doing?</h3>
<textarea cols="30" rows="2" name="content" id="content" maxlength="145" >
</textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Update" name="submit" class="update_button"/>
</form>
</div>
<div id="flash"></div>
<ol id="update" class="timeline">
</ol>




demo.php
Contains simple PHP Code displays recently inserted record details from the database.
<?php
include('db.php');
if(isSet($_POST['content']))
{
$content=$_POST['content'];
mysql_query("insert into messages(msg) values ('$content')");
$sql_in= mysql_query("SELECT msg,msg_id FROM messages order by msg_id desc");
$r=mysql_fetch_array($sql_in);
$msg=$r['msg'];
$msg_id=$r['msg_id'];
}

?>

<li>
<div align="left">
<span ><?php echo $msg; ?> </span>
</div>
</li>

CSS Code
*{margin:0;padding:0;}
ol.timeline{
list-style:none;font-size:1.2em;
}
ol.timeline li{
display:none;position:relative;
padding:.7em 0 .6em 0;
border-bottom:1px dashed #000;
line-height:1.1em;
background-color:#D3E7F5;
height:45px}
ol.timeline li:first-child{
border-top:1px dashed #000;}

  1. why not go all out with jquery and replace

    document.getElementById('content').value='';
    document.getElementById('content').focus();

    with

    $("#content").value('');
    $("#content").focus();

  14. Quick question: I'm trying to set this up using ASP and it works, except that all the spaces between words are removed for some reason when it's sent over to my ASP page. Any idea why that might be happening?

  15. how do you keep comments on page????? when i refresh, they are gone

    ReplyDelete
  16. Annon .... I am looking at the same problem. My suggestion is you create a table of the current comments under the insert box (at the bottom of the insert page) so when you visit you see all current posts and then the insert text box. When a user inserts a new message this will show at the top of the list. If they refresh then it will be shown in the new list you have just created!! :)

  18. Hello, first of thanks for the great tutorials and fab website!

    I am having a problem with this script and some of the other comment type scripts. It appears when a large message is posted, the message shows over any content which may be below the post box. For example, I have set up a list of all comments underneath the post box and if I post a large message then it goes all weird and the message overhangs all the others.

    Is there a way to make this script push down any content below it when it inserts a new message?

    Thanks

  37. Hello and thanks for the outstanding work of all of you.
    I tried to implement the script and have successfully set it up the way I want to have it. But unfortunately in my country I need special characters (i.e. é, à, è) and so far I have not been able to save it correctly in my database.
    Do you have a solution for me? Thank you so much for your most appreciated help.

  39. Hi sharan,

    You don't have the connection string set up correctly for your mysql connection... enter the prober credentials in the file "db.php" referenced at the top of the demo page ( include('db.php'); )
