The AJAX code works fine and creates my desired outputs and on "success"
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
$( "#gridjs_table" ).load(window.location.href + " #gridjs_table" );//updates the gridjs_table div
}
Gridjs Table works fine as well

On success, the ajax should refresh the table but it's not working. It just went blank, no display, the whole table is gone. Refreshing the whole page works and displays the newly added items but I don't want that.
Refreshing the div holding the table does not work so I ended up using this code and it worked.
$('body').load('dashboard.php');
