Question posted in 
I have an Ajax script on a PHP page which is to run a php script on clicking a button.
The code is as follows:
<script>
$('#signup-form').submit(function(e){
e.preventDefault(); // Prevent Default Submission
$.ajax({
url: 'insertfromsession.php',
type: 'POST',
data: $(this).serialize(), // it will serialize the form data
dataType: 'html'
})
.done(function(data){
$('#form-container').fadeOut('slow', function(){
$('#form-container').fadeIn('slow').html(data);
});
document.getElementById('submitBtn').disabled = true;
document.getElementById("submitBtn").value="Thanks!";
})
.fail(function(){
alert('Ajax Submit Failed ...');
});
});
When I first open the web page the script isn’t run, but if i click back and repeat the process the script executes without an issue. Does anyone know what is causing the issue?
Insert.php which runs this code is here:

I think I solved the issue and it has nothing at all to do with the AJAX. It actually appears to be an issue with the session variables. I moved the session variables on the insert.php right to the top before anything else and this makes it work as intended.
Thanks for your efforts guys
You should use a
document.readyfunction. Here is a link to the jQuery version documentation : https://learn.jquery.com/using-jquery-core/document-ready/
