delete from database with javascript

I added a delete function to a todo list app that i built. The delete function works; however, when I refresh the page all the items that i deleted come back. How can I remove the items permanently from the database?
$(function() {
// The taskHtml method takes in a JavaScript representation
// of the task and produces an HTML representation using
// <li> tags
function taskHtml(task) {
var checkedStatus = task.done ? "checked" : "";

var liElement = '<li id="listItem-' + task.id +'" class="' + liClass + '">' +
'<div class="view"><input class="toggle" type="checkbox"' +
" data-id='" + task.id + "'" +
checkedStatus +
'><label>' +
task.title +
// '<button class="deletebutton" type="button">Delete</button>' +
'</label></div></li>';
return liElement;
}
// toggleTask takes in an HTML representation of the
// an event that fires from an HTML representation of
// the toggle checkbox and performs an API request to toggle
// the value of the `done` field
function toggleTask(e) {
var itemId = $(e.target).data("id");
var doneValue = Boolean($(e.target).is(':checked'));
$.post("/tasks/" + itemId, {
_method: "PUT",
task: {
done: doneValue
}
}).success(function(data) {
var liHtml = taskHtml(data);
var $li = $("#listItem-" + data.id);
$li.replaceWith(liHtml);
$('.toggle').change(toggleTask);
} );
}

$.ajax({

});
i changed the code but im not sure how to properly extract the url.

JavaScript variable is "null"

on line 30 i am facing an issue with $.each(data.menu, function (). I am being told by the console that "data is null". can anyone explain whats going on? thanks
function getFoodMenuData () {
var url = 'http://localhost:8888/Tom_Carp_Final_Project/Chorizios/foodMenu.json';
$.getJSON(url, function (data) {
window.localStorage.setItem('choriziosMenu333', JSON.stringify(data));
});
}
function showFoodMenuData () {
var data = JSON.parse(window.localStorage.getItem('choriziosMenu333'));
var images = "";
$.each(data.menu, function () {
images += '<li class="list-group-item"><img style="width: 100%;" src= "' + this.url + '"></li>';
images += '<li class="list-group-item">' + this.description + '</li>';
});
$('#foodMenu').append(images);
}
showFoodMenuData();

You have to call getFoodMenuData(), and then inside the callback for the asynchronous $.getJSON, call showFoodMenuData().
function getFoodMenuData() {
var url = 'http://localhost:8888/Tom_Carp_Final_Project/Chorizios/foodMenu.json';
$.getJSON(url, function(data) {
window.localStorage.setItem('choriziosMenu333', JSON.stringify(data));
showFoodMenuData(); // <--- call this inside the callback
});
}
function showFoodMenuData() {
var data = JSON.parse(window.localStorage.getItem('choriziosMenu333'));
var images = "";
$.each(data.menu, function() {
images += '<li class="list-group-item"><img style="width: 100%;" src= "' + this.url + '"></li>';
images += '<li class="list-group-item">' + this.description + '</li>';
});
$('#foodMenu').append(images);
}
getFoodMenuData(); // <--- call this first

I wouldn't use $ for the loop. I am not sure of the structure of the data you are receiving but you will probably need a nested loop to get all the data either way this should do the trick.
As a point the for in loop works great for objects. One reason is that the iterator is the key in the object. In this example if you console.log( ii ) inside the second loop you will see either name or url.

$( "ul" ).append( "<li>" + elem + "</li>" );

When I run the program it only reads one of the variables i.e. either 1 or 2.
How can I correct them to read both the variables?

Use this.
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
variable1.init();
variable2.init();
}
</script>

Try this
<body onload="callFunctions()">
JS-
function callFunctions()
{
variable1.init();
variable2.init();
}
Update-
Also
there are other different ways to call multiple functions on page load
Hope it hepls you.

How can I open with blank page on this rss javascript nor html?

I have a website which includes this RSS JavaScript. When I click feed, it opens same page, but I don't want to do that. How can I open with blank page? I have my current HTML and JavaScript below.
HTML CODE
<tr>
<td style="background-color: #808285" class="style23" >
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#ticker1').rssfeed('http://www.demircelik.com.tr/map.asp').ajaxStop(function () {
$('#ticker1 div.rssBody').vTicker({ showItems: 3 });
});
});
</script>
<div id="ticker1" >
<br />
</div>
</td>
</tr>
JAVASCRIPT CODE
(function ($) {
var current = null;
$.fn.rssfeed = function (url, options) {
// Set pluign defaults
var defaults = {
limit: 10,
header: true,
titletag: 'h4',
date: true,
content: true,
snippet: true,
showerror: true,
errormsg: '',
key: null
};
var options = $.extend(defaults, options);
// Functions
return this.each(function (i, e) {
var $e = $(e);
// Add feed class to user div
if (!$e.hasClass('rssFeed')) $e.addClass('rssFeed');
// Check for valid url
if (url == null) return false;
// Create Google Feed API address
var api = "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/feed/load?v=1.0&callback=?&q=" + url;
if (options.limit != null) api += "&num=" + options.limit;
if (options.key != null) api += "&key=" + options.key;
// Send request
$.getJSON(api, function (data) {
// Check for error
if (data.responseStatus == 200) {
// Process the feeds
_callback(e, data.responseData.feed, options);
}
else {
// Handle error if required
if (options.showerror) if (options.errormsg != '') {
var msg = options.errormsg;
}
else {
var msg = data.responseDetails;
};
$(e).html('<div class="rssError"><p>' + msg + '</p></div>');
};
});
});
};
// Callback function to create HTML result
var _callback = function (e, feeds, options) {
if (!feeds) {
return false;
}
var html = '';
var row = 'odd';
// Add header if required
if (options.header) html += '<div class="rssHeader">' + '' + feeds.title + '' + '</div>';
// Add body
html += '<div class="rssBody">' + '<ul>';
// Add feeds
for (var i = 0; i < feeds.entries.length; i++) {
// Get individual feed
var entry = feeds.entries[i];
// Format published date
var entryDate = new Date(entry.publishedDate);
var pubDate = entryDate.toLocaleDateString() + ' ' + entryDate.toLocaleTimeString();
// Add feed row
html += '<li class="rssRow ' + row + '">' + '<' + options.titletag + '>' + entry.title + '</' + options.titletag + '>'
if (options.date) html += '<div>' + pubDate + '</div>'
if (options.content) {
// Use feed snippet if available and optioned
if (options.snippet && entry.contentSnippet != '') {
var content = entry.contentSnippet;
}
else {
var content = entry.content;
}
html += '<p>' + content + '</p>'
}
html += '</li>';
// Alternate row classes
if (row == 'odd') {
row = 'even';
}
else {
row = 'odd';
}
}
html += '</ul>' + '</div>'
$(e).html(html);
};
})(jQuery);

try change this:
html += '<li class="rssRow '+row+'">' +
'<'+ options.titletag +'>'+ entry.title +'</'+ options.titletag +'>'
to
html += '<li class="rssRow '+row+'">' +
'<'+ options.titletag +'>'+ entry.title +'</'+ options.titletag +'>'

Placing a div only after clicked object

Buildgames returns rows:
<a>....</a>
<a>....</a>
When I click on each a the Buildcar_s function returns all the data inside an alert.
Instead of this alert I want to put all the results in a div under each a, so it would look like:
<a>.....clicked ...</a>
<div>....
...
</div>
<a>....not clicked...</a>
<a>....not clicked...</a>
<a>....not clicked...</a>
How can we put a div only under the a which was clicked?
function Buildcar_s(items) {
var div = $('<div/>');
$.each(items, function() {
var car_ = this.car_;
$('<a>' + this.car_ + '----' + this.Names + '---' + '</a>').click(function() {
_Services.invoke({
method: 'GetgamesRows',
data: {
car_Number: car_
},
success: function(car_s) {
var div = Buildgames(car_s);
$(div).insertAfter($a);
}
});
}).appendTo(div);
$('<br/>').appendTo(div);
});
$("#leftRows").append(div);
}
function Buildgames(items) {
var place = '<div>';
$.each(items, function() {
place += 'mmmmmm<br/>';
});
place += '</div>';
return place;
}

Try this, relevant changes have been commented:
function Buildcar_s(items) {
var div = $('<div/>');
$.each(items, function() {
var car_ = this.car_;
$('<a>' + this.car_ + '----' + this.Names + '---' + '</a>').click(function() {
var $a = this;
_Services.invoke({
method: 'GetgamesRows',
data: {
car_Number: car_
},
success: function(car_s) {
var div = Buildgames(car_s);
// this inserts the HTML generated from the function,
// under the A element which was clicked on.
$(div).insertAfter($a);
}
});
}).appendTo(div);
$('<br/>').appendTo(div);
});
$("#leftRows").append(div);
}
function Buildgames(items) {
var place = '<div>';
$.each(items, function() {
place += '<div style="float: right;"> ' + this.CITY + ' ' + '</div><BR />' + +'<br/><br/>';
});
place += '</div>';
return place; // returns the string created, as opposed to alerting it.
}
