jQuery ajax success doesn't show

[w4r0]

To check for a duplicate entry on our database, I have HTML:

<input class="form-control" type="text" id="items" name="items" value="{$items}">
<span class="duplicate" id="duplicate"></span>

The jQuery ajax script:

$(document).ready(function(){
        $('#items').change(function(){
            var items= $(this).val();
            var Result = $('#duplicate');
            if(items.length > 2) { // if greater than 2 (minimum 3)
                var dataPass = 'a=check_items&items='+items+'&id_cat=id_cat';
                $.ajax({
                type : 'GET',
                data : dataPass,
                url  : 'check.php',
                success: function(responseText){ // Get the result
                    if(responseText == '1'){
                        Result.html('<span class="success">There is duplicate item.</span>');
                    }
                    else{
                        alert('Problem with query or php script.');
                    }
                }
                });
            }
            if(items.length == 0) {
                Result.html('');
            }
         });
        });

And check.php

if ('check_items' == $a && !empty($id_cat) && !empty($_GET['items'])) {
    $get_items = strip_tags($_GET['items']);

    $q_items = $DB->Prepare('
        SELECT item
        FROM tb_items
        WHERE id_cat = ?
            AND items = ?
        LIMIT 1
    ');
    $items = $DB->GetOne($q_items, array($id_cat, $get_items));

    if (isset($items) || !empty($items)) {
        echo '1';
    } else {
        echo '0';
    }
    exit();
}

I’ve already checked /check.php&a=check_items&items=Something&id_cat=1 , it printed ‘1’ (without single quotes), but there’s no change inside the result (id = ‘duplicate’).

Or if I change:

Result.html('<span class="success">There is duplicate item.</span>');

to:

alert('1')

the browser will display the alert value.

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

It works for me.

Does the browser console show any errors?

Thank you for your reply. What happened was that I saw a different page, one is to add entry and the other one is to edit entry.
The script is working, after I see the right page.

I’m so sorry to waste your time.
