Send input value to php using ajax with result printed to div - php

Question

I'm trying to send an input value to a php script and have the returned value posted to a div, using ajax, but I can't seem to get this right. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!
This is what I have by now, but console says: "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)".
test1.php:
<script>
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'test2.php',
data: {url: $('#id1').val()},
success: function (data)
{
$(document).ready(function(){$("#content").load("test2.php");});
}
});
</script>
<form name="input">
<input type="text" id="id1">
<input type="submit">
</form>
<div id="content"></div>
test2.php:
<?php
$string=$_POST['id1'];
require_once('connect.php');
$inf = "SELECT * FROM `comments` WHERE date='$string'";
$info = mysql_query($inf);
while($info2 = mysql_fetch_object($info)) {echo $info2->username.$info2->date;}
?>

Answer 1

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#submit').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'test2.php',
data: {id1: $('#id1').val()},
success: function(data)
{
$("#content").html(data);
}
});
});
});
</script>
<form name="input">
<input type="text" id="id1">
<input type="submit" id="submit">
</form>
<div id="content"></div>
When you submit the ajax request, you're already submitting your content to test2.php, so you don't need to load it again. In the success function, you can append the result to the div from the callback.

Answer 2

$(document).on('click','#submit',function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.post('test2.php',{url: $('#id1').val()},function(data){
$("#content").html(data);
}
});
});

Answer 3

404 (Not Found) Error is for page not found. Please make sure that file test2.php is exist in same folder. Check url.
Also you can copy the URL from console and paste it in the browser URL to check the url correct or incorrect.
jQuery
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#submit').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'test2.php',
data: {id1: $('#id1').val()},
success: function(data)
{
$("#content").html(data);
}
});
});
});
</script>
HTML
<form name="input">
<input type="text" id="id1">
<input type="submit" id="submit">
</form>

Answer 4

You could try this:
<script>
$('#submitBtn').on('click',function(){
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'test2.php',
data: {url: $('#id1').val()},
success: function (data)
{
$("#content").html(data);
}
});
return false;
});
</script>
<form name="input">
<input type="text" id="id1">
<input id="submitBtn" type="submit">
</form>
<div id="content"></div>
