  • Inside the success callback, add on console.log(data); Your data result may not be up to date. – roland Jan 25 '15 at 07:45
  • Not a short answer for this one. Must it update on a click, on a hover, on a timer? When must it update? All the answers for each case are simple, but different. – Gavin Simpson Jan 25 '15 at 07:50
  • r u sure that ur ajax call is returning html ? put a `console.log(data)` in ur success function and check in console in DevTools if its fine – Arkantos Jan 25 '15 at 07:52
  • I need the show the datepicker every time someone visit the page. I insert it into the (document).ready(function() section, but it not showing the correct date until I refresh the page but sometime it showing it on the first try – hanan-mstudio Jan 25 '15 at 10:49

this may help
this will automatically update the code after every 200ms after the page is loaded

$(document).ready( function() {
 done();
});

function done() {
  setTimeout( function() { 
  updates(); 
  done();
  }, 200);//set timer

}

function updates() {
     // add your code here to update

}

  • `setTimeout()` will invoke a function only once. You have to use `setInterval()` to invoke some function at regular intevals :) . Although there's no guarantee it will invoke for every 200ms, that's the minimum it waits to invoke that function, it can be even more - depending your whether your JS thread is busy doing something else – Arkantos Jan 25 '15 at 08:07
