Echo form submit to div using AJAX

Ok, I'm not a AJAX specialist so please hear me out...

I'm trying to echo some data to a div using a form submit, AJAX and PHP. I hope this is possible. I've looked around stackoverflow and google for an answer but could not find one for my purpose.

This is my HTML:

<article id="search-results">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-sm-3">
                <?php echo do_shortcode('[searchandfilter id="15"]');?>
            </div>
            <div class="col-sm-7">
                <?php echo do_shortcode('[searchandfilter id="15" show="results"]'); ?>
                <?php get_template_part('pagination'); ?>
            </div>
            <div class="col-sm-2">
                <div id="txtHint">
                    <h4>Saved Items</h4>
                    <!-- ECHO OUTPUT -->
                </div>    
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</article>

In the div txtHint is where I want to have the output echoed. This is my form code:

<form id="ajaxform" class="content-items">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-sm-3">
       <div class="thumbnail-content-items">
         <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) : // Check if thumbnail exists ?>
           <?php the_post_thumbnail(array(120,120)); // Declare pixel size you need inside the array ?>
           <?php endif; ?>
       </div>
     </div>
   <div class="col-sm-9">
     <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
       <?php html5wp_excerpt('html5wp_index'); ?>

       <div class="text-right">
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary text-right" data-toggle="modal" data-target=".post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" data-attribute="<?php the_title(); ?>" data-whatever="<?php the_title(); ?>">Save this item <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-heart" aria-hidden="true"></span></button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

And here is my AJAX script:

$("#ajaxform").submit(function(){
   $.ajax({
      type: "POST",
      url: "example.com/reload.php",
      data: "id=" + a_href,
       success: function(data, textStatus) {
        $(".txtHint").html(data);    
        },
        error: function() {
            alert('Not OKay');
        }
   });

   return false;
});

This is in my php file:

<?php echo hello; ?>

There is something happening, the page is refreshed but this could also be the submit action from the form. Could any one help me get this to work?

Cheers

Change

$(".txtHint").html(data);

To

$("#txtHint").html(data);

As, txtHint is ID not Class.

See, may be hello get printed. But, due to page-reload, <div id='txtHint'> is not able to show ajax response. So, you have to use event.preventDefault(); for stopping page refresh.

Use the given code as it is. I removed data as you also don't know why it is used as you copied it from somewhere. 

$("#ajaxform").submit(function(event){
   event.preventDefault();
   $.ajax({
      type: "POST",
      url: "example.com/reload.php",
      success: function(data) {
        $("#txtHint").html(data);    
      },
      error: function() {
        alert('Not OKay');
      }
   });
   return false;
});

And here, put hello in quotes.

reload.php

<?php echo "hello"; ?>

Use instead of 

$("#ajaxform").submit(function(){

"id=" + a_href,

Into

$("#ajaxform").submit(function(e){
e.preventDefault();

{id : a_href},
