Ajax results in input element

[IndianaGuy]

I am new at this and playing around right now to learn JQuery. I am am thankfull for resources and advice you might give.  I am sending a request to a file and I want the returned results to be entered  in a disabled input box

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#req_btn").click(function(){
        $("#myResults").load("get_results.php");
    });
});
</script>
	Outcome: <input type="text" id="myResults"  name="myResults"  disabled>

I don't think that the load method is a general-purpose thing that will know how you want to use the returned data, I think it's just for updating the HTML inside an element.  An input element does not contain HTML, so I don't think that's going to work.  Send a regular ajax request, get the response, and then you can use the input element's value property to change the value in the field.

I believe this is what you are trying to achieve https://www.w3schools.com/jquery/tryit.asp?filename=tryjquery_ajax_post

sending and receiving Data.
