JavaScript - Retrieved Data From First Page

I'm using jquery right now but I sort of understand what the problem is. I'm making a file manager and when you click on an li tag it will do some action depending on if it's a file type or a folder type. There are 3 important files you should know about.

1. filemanager.php (Where the file managing takes place. Starts by including filemanager_getfile.php and including filemanager.js in the head).

2. filemanager_getfile.php (Information that receives information from the ajax request [the directory to be read] and prints the new file list in <li> tags)

3. filemanager.js (Jquery that processes li clicks)

The problem is, when you click on a folder (and it loads the new information from the ajax request) the jquery doesn't check the new li tags when clicked (I'm guessing when you first link the javascript file it has to compile all of the current li information?).

Try it for yourself-

Instruction (if it's not already obvious):

-Clicking a file selects if. If files are selected and you click the arrow in the file options it will transfer it (not really, but it will later).

-Clicking a folder will send an ajax request with the new directory information to be checked and return the html

-Clicking the '?' in the file options will display the pages html (I implemented it to debug).

I have tried linking the js page every time I include the new directory information, but the js stacks on each other. So if I click on 3 folders and hit the '?' button it will display the page html 3 times. And if I select the index.php li and click transfer, it will "transfer" 3 times.

filemanager.php
Code:

<div id="goldenSub">
        <div class="title">Golden Subdomain</div>
        <div class="files" id="goldenSubFiles">
            <?
                include("filemanager_getfiles.php");
            ?>
        </div>
        <div id="history" visited="goldensub/"></div>;
        <div class="fileOptions"><img src="images/question.png" title='HTML Information' id="ask"><img src="images/transferto.png" title='Copy File To' id="transferTo"></div>

I want to use Javascript to submit a form - without filling the form in physically

Is this possible?

Let's say a web page has a form that submit First Name and Last Name to the next page
Instead of filling in the form and hitting submit, can I submit the data in variables and call the next page somehow using Javascript?

Thanks

Hi,

I want my page to jump to a different page based on data collected in the form input fields. I can jump to a new page alright, using the following javascript:

1. javascript code in form_a.html
document.forms["form_A"].action = "page_x.html"l;
document.forms["form_A"].submit();

2. document.forms[0].action = "page_x.html"l;

3. window.locaton = "page_x.html";

4. window.location.href = "page_x.html";

The problem is, I can see the new page was jumped to, but immediately it return back to the page that trigger the jump.

Any idea? I need to finish the project before Christmas. Any help is greatly appreciated!
