TypeError: stepUp called on an object that does not implement interface HTMLInputElement
If search_term is an input field you might want to get its value.
var search_term = $(this).parents('.sub-middle-column').find('.search_horse').val();Right now you are referencing a jQuery Object containing a HTMLDom-Element but I think what you want is the string inside the search input element.
TypeError: stepUp called on an object that does not implement interface HTMLInputElement comes when you forget # sign for(id) and . sign for class. when we can get value directly without . or # sign.
Wrong method:- var email = $('PHMC_email').val();
Correct Method:
-var email = $('#PHMC_email').val(); Orvar email = $('.PHMC_email').val();
$.ajax is not expecting a DOMElement of type HTMLInputElement in the object you are passing to data. Try just giving it the value of the field instead:
var wordid = $('.wordId').val();$.ajax({ url: "assigner.php", type: "POST", data: { wordid: wordid, assign: assign}}).done(function( e ) { /*alert( "word was saved" + e );*/});
