passing form data to PHP

-Job-

Since your input object only has a name property (and no ID)

Code:

<INPUT name=keywords>

You can use the following to get its value:

Code:

document.getElementsByName('keywords')[0].value

So in your code you'd have:

Code:

<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>
      $(document).ready(
        function(){
          $("//p#b1/a").click(
            function(){
              $("//div#content").empty();
              $("//div#content").load("hello.php?hello=" + document.getElementsByName('keywords')[0].value);

            }
          )
        }
      )
    </SCRIPT>

If you give your input control an ID:

Code:

<INPUT name=keywords id=keywords>

You can use the following to get its value:

Code:

document.getElementById('keywords').value;

Or you can use jquery:

Code:

$("input#keywords").val()

And you'd have, after giving your control an ID:

Code:

<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>
      $(document).ready(
        function(){
          $("//p#b1/a").click(
            function(){
              $("//div#content").empty();
              $("//div#content").load("hello.php?hello=" + $("input#keywords").val());

            }
          )
        }
      )
    </SCRIPT>
