Using Ajax Callback() in a delete functions

[mostwanted]

I have been using the ajax function alot lately, there is a level of neatness about it.

What I wanna do is to make a delete by clicking a button but avoid a page reload, I used the ajax callback function, but the problem is that after clicking delete it shows working but nothing happens, it will only delete the desired entry after i have refreshed the page, thats not what i want, i want to click delete, see the item get deleted but without the page refresh!

MY CODE

CONTROLLER

def deleteQuoteItem():
    if db(db.quotation.id == request.args(0, cast=int)).delete():
        if db(db.quotation.id is not None):
            redirect(URL('View_Quotation', args=(session.detailsQuote.id)))
        else:
            redirect(URL('registeredClients'))
    return locals()

VIEW

{{=A('Delete',callback=URL('deleteQuoteItem', args=quote.id))}}

Regards;

I guess you need to set the target param

Thanks Ramos but the target parameter still doesn't solve the issue. When i add the target parameter & the target div it deletes but the page ends up reload endlessly!

Have you read this ???

A

This helper is used to build links.

>>> print A('<click>', XML('<b>me</b>'),
            _href='http://www.web2py.com')
<a href='http://www.web2py.com'>&lt;click&gt;<b>me</b></a>

Instead of _href you can pass the URL using the callback argument. For example in a view:

{{=A('click me', callback=URL('myaction'))}}

and the effect of pressing the link will be an ajax call to "myaction" instead of a redirection. In this case, optionally you can specify two more arguments: target and delete:

{{=A('click me', callback=URL('myaction'), target='t')}}
<div id="t"><div>

and the response of the ajax callback will replace the content (inner HTML) of the DIV with id equal to "t".

<div id="b">{{=A('click me', callback=URL('myaction'), delete='div#b')}}</div>

and upon response, the closest tag matching "div#b" will be deleted. In this case, the whole DIV with the link will be deleted.

A typical application is:

{{=A('click me', callback=URL('myaction'), delete='tr')}}

in a table. Using the link will perform the callback and delete the table row.

target and delete can be combined.
