placid

I have an HTML table generated by PHP querying from MySQL table: <table> <tr> <th>Sl</th> <th>ID</th> <th>Article Name</th> <th>Publish Status</th> </tr> <?php $i = 1; foreach ($obj->showAllFromTable('pattern') as $pattern) { extract($pattern); ?> <tr> <td><?php echo $i++; ?></td> <td><?php echo $id; ?></td> <td><?php echo $pattern_name; ?></td> <td id="publish_<?php echo $id; ?>" class="status_pattern"> <?php echo $publish; ?> </td> </tr> <?php } ?> </table> I want to change the status of any article by clicking on the 'publish' cell of the corresponding article row. I am trying to use ajax method of jquery for this purpose as shown in the following: <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){ $('.status_pattern').click(function(){ var thisid = $(this).attr('id'); $.ajax({ url: "status_change_pattern.php", data: { id: thisid }, success: function (response) { alert(response); } }); }); }); </script> In the "success" block, instead of "alert", I want to create a functionality to change the text of the specific cell which I clicked. The "status_change_pattern.php" has just a text "Hey Hey". Can anyone help? Please. Thanks.
