jquery - AJAX not showing up in Firebug Console -


disclaimer: not sure wordpress related or not.

i'm following simple tutorial check if ajax works in wordpress localhost.

my ajax-test.js :

jquery(document).ready( function($){     $(".ajax-link").click( function(){         var data = {             action: 'test_response',             post_var: 'this echoed back'         };         $.post(the_ajax_script.ajaxurl, data, function(response) {                                                        alert(response);                                                        });         return false;     }); }); 

in plugin, add script wp_print_scripts() , add processing function:

function test_ajax_load_scripts(){     wp_enqueue_script("ajax-test", plugin_dir_url( __file__ ) . 'ajax-test.js', array( 'jquery' ) );     wp_localize_script('ajax-test', 'the_ajax_script', array( 'ajaxurl' => admin_url('admin-ajax.php') ) ); } add_action('wp_print_scripts', 'test_ajax_load_scripts');  function text_ajax_process_request(){      if(isset($_post["post_var"])){         $response = $_post["post_var"];         echo $response;         die();     } } add_action('wp_ajax_test_response', 'test_ajax_process_request'); 

i link output href="#" , click , brings me top of page. check firebug , can confirm ajax-test.js loaded in header. there nothing in console.

how else can debug why alert not happening?

your event wire-up function needs e.preventdefault() in it:

$(".ajax-link").click( function(e){ //<--------- e     e.preventdefault(); //<-------- preventdefault()        var data = {         action: 'test_response',         post_var: 'this echoed back'     };     $.post(the_ajax_script.ajaxurl, data, function(response) {         alert(response);     });         });
