冀ajax214,jquery - javascript ajax variable question - Stack Overflow

Hey there, new to AJAX, JS.. Im trying to add to a Javascript/Ajax search script that I've put together. Previously, it had a single search field, called search_word, I added one called search_date.

$(".search_button").click(function() {

var search_word = $("#search_box").val();

var search_date = $("#datepicker").val();

var dataString = 'search_word='+ search_word;

if(search_word=='')

{

}

else

{

$.ajax({

type: "GET",

url: "searchdata.php",

data: dataString,

In the Ajax, it appears to pass data of dataString, to my processing script. How do I add search date to the dataString so that I can use that var in my searchdata.php?

In searchdata, I can do this $search_word=$_GET['search_word']; and use that var, but so far every time i attempt to alter the dataString, it breaks all the other functionality.

Thanks!
