Ajax Request - jQuery

Hey

What I want to do is have something like:
Did this work: Yes - No
Success Rate: 65%

When someone clicks yes, it'll turn the Did this work line into thank you and the success rate will then automatically update with the new success rate.

If someone refreshes the page then I'll use php to check if they have clicked yes or no before.

I'm having trouble with the ajax of that, everything about it. The PHP I can do, I just don't know how I need to show the percentage and stuff.

Could anyone help me complete this task? All help is appreciated, thank you.

I'm not familiar with javascript, but the percentage would still be PHP.
And it would depend on how you're storing the percent in the database (whether when someone clicks yes and you're recalculating the average out of 100%). It's all math from that point.

I can't specifically help you, but I recently saw a jQuery tutorial that may help you.

What I mean by how I show the percentage is if its just pure text or what. I have no problem with the PHP side, it's just the jquery side.

Well, jQuery is really easy to learn. I'm telling you because I was in a situation like yours and after reading a few code snippers, I could manage myself to make my script.

just read the jQuery documentation, it's really good to start.

$.Ajax() docs: http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/jQuery.ajax

in your success function use the html() or text() in the following manner:

success: function (data) {
$('#percentage-box').html(data);
}
