Gimp: move layer above canvas background?

Question

I'm trying to do the following thing with AJAX:

1. Visitor click button/ AJAX show spinning/loading image to visitor.

2. AJAX Visit URL 1 http://www.mywebsite.com/url1.php and it'll return a random code, for example 1357.

3. Then, I want it to visit URL 2 http://www.mywebsite.com/url2.php?code=1357&action=ask (1357 is a variable from url1). URL 2 will verify the request return a final code. I want to show the code to the visitor after removing the spinning/loading image.

How do I do that?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

I went through your steps and didn't have any problems. Here are some things to watch out for:

When you select the bottom half of the picture and cut and paste it back, make sure that you right click the "floating selection (Pasted Layer)" in the Layers window and select "new layer".

Also, when you move the layer with the move tool, make sure that the "move layer" button is selected instead of the "move selection" or "move path". These are indicated by three pictures in the Toolbox window when you have the move tool selected.

Well, I'm fine with steps 1/2, but can't get #3 working. So I'm here looking for the complete code if possible.

Could you add your current code, please?

I'm with James. Did you anchor the layer?

Thanks. Is it possible to use a variable ask for action attribute?

Yes, it is perfectly fine to use variables as data for request. See how i used data (which contains response from url1.php).

You need to put var ask = jQuery('#ask').val(); inside your click callback.
