Hey

Could anyone guide me in the right direction on this:

I want something like: Amazon.com Coupon Codes - all coupons, discounts and promotion codes for amazon.com

The part, 'Did this coupon work for you'

I want that, so when yes or no is clicked, the new percentage is brought back.

Someone said I need to do:
Onclick on worked button, send url to php script via ajax that adds +1 to the database and then use mysql and stuff on the php script to return the value of percentage.

However, I'm kinda new to this stuff so .. Can anyone do the javascript bit and I'll do the PHP page?

Thanks, help much appreicated.

All that can be done through an XMLHttpRequest (AJAX) call. What have you tried so far? Are you a complete neophyte when it comes to using XHR? What JS experience do you have? Ever use any frameworks like jQuery or Prototype?

To start off, I should suggest Mootools SOCK. But jQuery helped me out a bit and I've learned a lot from it as well, so the choice is up to you crazyryan. I suggest you start off building up some knowledge about AJAX/JS before you bite off more than you can chew.

Oops, forgot to mention, I'd like to use jquery if possible because I'm using it for some effects on my site (I didn't code them, someone else helped me)

I have no experience with javascript or AJAX, totally clueless. :p

Ok; I'd start with the jQuery AJAX API and tutorials, there is plenty of documentation on how to do this. Just for kicks, take some time to read the Wikipedia article on XHR as well to get a good understanding of the underlying technology.

I'm familiar with (and use) either the hardcoded XHR calls or jQuery, if you need some help let me know.

Okay, I'm really confused lol ... I have no idea what to do with this, SOCK - any chance you can explain it a bit :D

Sure, send me a PM, or post what you're having trouble with so we can all take a look.
