id="plr_message" message shows up. below jquery code

function postplrdata() {     $j('#sendplr').click(function(e) {         e.preventdefault();         $j.ajax({             url: ajaxurl,             type: 'post',             datatype: 'html',             data: { action: 'submitplr', plrdata: frmdata },             success: function(backdata) {                 if (backdata !== '') {                     $j('#plr_message').append('form has been submitted successfully');                 }                 else {                      $j('#plr_message').append('ops!!!, form not submitted');                  }             }         });     });  } 

this php code

function insertplr() {     $return      = array();     $jsondecode  = $_post['plrdata'];     $queryuser = ($jsondecode['user'] === '') ? $jsoncode['user'] : wp_get_current_user()->user_login;     echo json_encode($queryuser);     die(); } add_action('wp_ajax_submitplr', 'insertplr'); 

thanks

remove `onclick='postplrdata();'` submit button , try code    $(document).ready(function() {  $j('#sendplr').on('click',function(e) {         e.preventdefault();         $j.ajax({             url: ajaxurl,             type: 'post',             datatype: 'html',             data: { action: 'submitplr', plrdata: frmdata },             success: function(backdata) {                 if (backdata !== '') {                     $j('#plr_message').append('form has been submitted successfully');                 }                 else {                      $j('#plr_message').append('ops!!!, form not submitted');                  }             }         });     });    })
