Like-function through mysql without pageload

[KevinL]

Hi guys!
I'm finishing up my profileview for a system I am making for my site.
How do I add a like/dislike function with jQuery that inserts a row in the database, without the page being reloaded? I really suck in jQuery so I don't know what to do..

My code so far:

<?php
	echo "
		<div class=\"profileStatusbox\">
			".htmlentities($myStatuz->status, ENT_QUOTES)."
			<br><small>
	";

if(mysql_num_rows($getLikes) >= 1){
	echo "
		".number_format(mysql_num_rows($getLikes))." likes";
}

echo "
		<a onclick=\"likeStatus('".$myStatuz->id."')\" title=\"Like this!\">Like :)</a>
";

if(mysql_num_rows($getDislikes) >= 1){
	echo "
		".number_format(mysql_num_rows($getDislikes))." dislikes
	";
}

echo "
		&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
		<a onclick=\"dislikeStatus('".$myStatuz->id."')\" title=\"Dislike this!\">Dislike! :(</a>
"; 

echo "
		</small>
	</div>
";
?>

The database looks like this(two separate tables)

Statuslikes(where a person has liked it)
statusid userid id

Statusdislikes(where a person has disliked it)
statusid userid id

Have I done it all wrong so far, or am I going the right way?

Can somebody please help me make the jQuery code?

Thanks!
