I am working on a script to send data to a mysql table and I have it all working properly but the success part of the call, it is not loading my results in to my results column on my page. My code is below.
Any suggestions on what I can do to fix that? I am guessing the problem is within my "success:" option in my AJAX call.
Thank you,
Ryan
