Hello smarter people,

So as the title conveys, i'm having some difficulties, and I've wasted a good 8 hours trying to figure it out :)

I posted a Question earlier, to which I got no answers. I was having difficulties with my ajax, and it's interaction with a form. This form is in an admin panel, and is for dynamically creating and editing navigation links on the front end of my (hopefully) soon-too-be site.

My problem specifically is: I am unable to, via ajax, have the text-content of the anchor tag (which causes the form to dropdown), to immediately reflect on screen...

As you can see, the ajax has run, no errors, yet the label (anchor tag for enacting drop-down form) remains "test", when I typed "testing!!!!!!" in.

Everything behind the scenes worked, as the database successfully updates the corresponding data, and so does the anchor tag text once i reload the page, but that ain't very ajaxy now is it!

Here's the Javascript for when the form is submitted.

// NAV ITEM FORM - UPDATE / SUBMIT      
    $(".nav-form").submit(function(event) {

        var navData = $(this).serializeArray(); // The serializeArray( ) method serializes all forms and form elements like the .serialize() method but returns a JSON data structure for you to work with.
        var navLabel = $('input[name=label]').val();        
        var navID = $('input[name=id]').val();

        $.ajax({

            url: "ajax/navigation.php",
            type: "POST",
            data: navData

        }).done(function(){

            $("#label_"+navID).html(navLabel);

        }); // END $.ajax

        alert("navID = "+navID+"  navLabel = "+navLabel);

        event.preventDefault(); // will prevent form from submitting

    });//END nav-form

Please note the .done callback.

I've narrowed the problem down!

The ajax works ONLY on whichever of the sortable anchors is in position 1 (the top of the list) - for when I change the "Home Page", or, again, which ever one I happen to move to the top of the list, the label updates immediately as per the ajax.

As you can see in the code, I have those alerts to verify this: http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah126/conchairtoe/final_zps7a7ddc68.png

Here is the code for the DOM environment

Navigation

    <ul id="sort-nav" class="list-group-item">

        <?php

            $query = "SELECT * FROM navigation ORDER BY position ASC";
            $result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query);

            while ($list = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {  ?>

                <li id="list_<?php echo $list['id']; ?>" class="list-group-item">

So yea, I truly apologize for my ignorance. Bare in mind that I barely could grasp css just 2 months ago or so.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP IF YOU CAN PROVIDE IT.
