How to use GET method to send data in jQuery Ajax?


The jQuery.get( url, [data], [callback], [type] ) method loads data from the server using a GET HTTP request.

Here is the description of all the parameters used by this method −

  • url − A string containing the URL to which the request is sent
  • data − This optional parameter represents key/value pairs that will be sent to the server.
  • callback − This optional parameter represents a function to be executed whenever the data is loaded successfully.
  • type − This optional parameter represents type of data to be returned to callback function: "xml", "html", "script", "json", "jsonp", or "text".

Assuming we have the following PHP content in result.php file −

<?php
if( $_REQUEST["name"] ) {

   $name = $_REQUEST['name'];
   echo "Welcome ". $name;
}
?>

Example

Here's the code snippet to implement GET method in jQuery −

      <script src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
       
      <script>
         $(document).ready(function() {
           
            $("#driver").click(function(event){
               $.get(
                  "result.php",
                  { name: "Zara" },
                  function(data) {
                     $('#stage').html(data);
                  }
               );
            });
               
         });
      </script>    
   </head>
   
   <body>
   
      <p>Click on the button to load result.html file −</p>
       
      <span id = "stage" style = "background-color:#cc0;">
         STAGE
      </span>
       
      <div><input type = "button" id = "driver"
         value = "Load Data" /></div>
   
   </body>
