Using Jquery Ajax to retrieve data from Mysql

Question

list.php: A simple ajax code that I want to display only records of the Mysql table:

<html>

<head>
    <script src="jquery-1.9.1.min.js">
    </script>
    <script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
        var response = '';
        $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: "Records.php",
            async: false,
            success: function(text) {
                response = text;
            }
        });

        alert(response);
    });
    </script>
</head>

<body>
    <div id="div1">
        <h2>Let jQuery AJAX Change This Text</h2>
    </div>
    <button>Get Records</button>
</body>

</html>

Records.php is the file to fetch records from Mysql.
In the Database are only two fields: 'Name', 'Address'.

<?php
    //database name = "simple_ajax"
    //table name = "users"
    $con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
    $dbs = mysql_select_db("simple_ajax",$con);
    $result= mysql_query("select * from users");
    $array = mysql_fetch_row($result);
?>
<tr>
    <td>Name: </td>
    <td>Address: </td>
</tr>
<?php
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
    {
        echo "<tr>";
        echo "<td>$row[1]</td>";
        echo "<td>$row[2]</td>";
        echo "</tr>";
    }   
?>

This code is not working.

Create a MySQL table and insert data.
Create HTML form and jQuery script to perform AJAX GET Request to PHP MySQL Server.
