How To Run External Php File Using Ajax And Display Results In Same Page

Right now I'm using below script for button click which opens in new window But what I need is

Solution 1:

AJAX calls are regular requests so any PHP file is automatically executed.

$("output") will select all <output> tags. I suspect you meant an object with ID=output (which is at the bottom of the page)

Here's a corrected js:

$.get( "out.php", function( data ) {
    // replace content of #output with the response
    $( "#output" ).html( "Molecule: " + data.Molecule );
    // append the response to #output//$( "#output" ).append( "Molecule: " + data.Molecule );alert( "Load was performed." );
}, "json" );

If the response is not valid JSON this will cause an error (and not call the alert). If that's the case you can alert and check the response like this:

$.get( "out.php", function( data ) {
    alert( data );
});

This won't expect JSON and therefore not throw an error if it's not valid.
