jQuery to take url with variables from a link and send it via Ajax

Question

Hello,

I can add a product to cart via GET with this link:

<div id="add"><a id="add-link" href="http://localhost/catalog/cart?product_id=8&amp;boutique_id[]=36&amp;func=Module::Cart-&gt;add"&gt;Add to Cart</a></div>

I want to use jQuery Ajax to stay on the same page (if JS is enabled). I have crapped out the following, but of course it does not work. Could someone please look what is wrong? Thanks.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){

$('a#add-link').bind("click", function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var url = $(this).attr("href");
    alert("Now I want to call this page: " + url);
$.ajax({
  type: "GET",
  url: "url="+url, 
  success: function() {
    alert("Product added to cart");
  }
});
});

});
</script>

Answer 1

You don't need "url=", just use

url: url,

Answer 2

var url = $(this).attr("href");
alert("Now I want to call this page: " + url);
$.get(url, function (resp) {
    alert("Product added to cart");
});

Answer 3

Take out that "url="+

Also, url might not be the best variable name.

Answer 4

$(document).ready(function(){
  $('a#add-link').bind("click", function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    $.get($(this).attr('href'), function(data, status) {
      alert("Product added to cart");
    });
});
